Another reason to switch to KDM :-). I actually looked at the source for GDM back when they first "helpfully" removed the gdm-setup program, and the thing is total insanity. There are about 15 separate processes communicating via dbus messages (only a slight exaggeration :-). How anyone could manage to make a program with the single job of validating credentials so insanely complex (while still managing to actually remove important and useful features) is beyond my understanding. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
