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?

So, lemme get this straight. You don't like the daemon method, therefore
it should be removed? "they are to be blame for occasional weird
problems" — not good enough.

Well obviously it's not the only one, whether you like it or not.
Nobody is forcing you to use the daemon method, there is no "default"
(as someone already said).

It's a public wiki, fix it, if you think it's bad.
