potentially dangerous features like remote or automatic login.
Please note that this does not affect a default Ubuntu installation,
since the default theme does not provide an user list. In Ubuntu 6.06
you additionally have to have the 'ConfigAvailable' setting enabled in
gdm.conf to be vulnerable (it is disabled by default).
