funny gdm-restart script

Calling gdm-restart only reports:

	Not supported

What's not supported? The code for gdm-restart is a shell script and 
rather short:
-------------------snip
#!/bin/sh

PIDFILE=/var/run/gdm.pid
if test '!' -f $PIDFILE ; then
	echo "$PIDFILE doesn't exist, perhaps GDM isn't running"
	exit 1
fi
# exec the kill to get the correct return code
echo "Not supported"
-------------------snip

So, instead of killing a running gdm, the script only echoes the text:

Not supported

Can anybody explain this? This happens in F12 (and F11 too)

Kind regards
