Display Manager rc.d scripts

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hello,
can anyone think of a reason the rc.d scripts are added to kdm, gdm and
slim? They are not recommended by anyone & they are to be blame for
occasional weird problems. The standard and IMO only way is to start
them from inittab.
They dont come from upstream & i dont know when they were added, i
remember them being there ever since i started using Arch, they may
come from CRUX or something.
I am considering requesting them removal from all display managers.
In [0] Pierre said some people want to keep them for backwards
compatibility. Backwards compatibility is desired only when something
works correctly. Thoughts?
