Well said, Adam,

just what I thought. With the GDM approach we'd need new test cases and
some other ones like login manager should unlock default keyring could
not be run, at least we don't have the same thing that we have after
installation.

I'm not saying that the GDM approach is bad, My focus is on what we have
available now instead what could be in F15 or F16 timeframe. The EMEA
ambassadors still want to have the multi-desktop DVD during the F14
cycle.

Regards,
Christoph
