Change Details

We have a `gdm` config in the `os-installer` package ([[ https://dev.getsol.us/source/os-installer/browse/master/files/custom.conf | here ]]) that, if I understand correctly, gets applied to the system in the [[ https://github.com/getsolus/os-installer/blob/master/os_installer2/postinstall.py | postinstall step ]] of the installation. This config differs from the one we ship directly with `gdm` (relevant patch [[ https://dev.getsol.us/source/gdm/browse/master/files/0001-Force-Xorg-use-on-the-login-screen.patch | here ]]), notably in the `WaylandEnable=false` option, which is commented out in the former, but supposed to be active (i.e. disable Wayland) in the latter. If I'm not mistaken this doesn't get overwritten by the actual gdm package, so systems are stuck with the config applied during the installation. At least on my system it seemed to be the case in my recent `gdm` testing. I think we should as a first step make sure those configs have the same contents and in the future source the //same// config file for both purposes, so one doesn't have to change it in two places.
