Ubuntu

When I use the New Login in a Window application, and error message pops up.

Asked by Joe Lawrence

I am using Ubuntu 9.04 (but it persisted in other releases, too), I don't know the package, I wanted to have a new login in a window :-), it just didn't work and a message popped up saying:

Cannot start new display.
The X server failed. Perhaps it is not configured well.

Can you please clarify what:

login in a window

is?

Do you mean a new user? A new GDM theme?

yeah, like the gdm theme. you find it in the applications > system menu. (you have to go to edit menus and select it)
