[Pkg-ltsp-devel] Bug#430074: ldm does not display many locales

[Teddy Hogeborn]

Package: ldm
Version: 0.99debian11
Severity: normal
Tags: patch l10n

If the server har very many locales installed, LDM only displays a
certain number of them, and does not display any sessions (only the
"Default session).  Reproduce this by having a server with all locales
installed.

This is because /usr/lib/ltsp/greeters/gtk limits the response from
ldminfod to 1024 bytes.  A simple fix is to make the buffer larger:
