Dear idiot,

I'm kinda wondering why you aren't filtered from my mailbox yet.  You
top-posted, "put in" useless "2 cents", and whatnot.  Now you are
asking a stupid question.  Using GNOME or GDM without PA is
I-M-P-O-S-S-I-B-L-E.  Period.  If you are wondering, why one needs
sound in GDM, I can help you (not tested, but I'm sure it actually
happens): what if you mistype your password?  Or maybe you can't see
the login prompt and your computer should say "Choose your username
and type your password"?  There are many uses for that.  But even if
you don't need that, GDM and all other GNOME apps are SUPPOSED to be
used as a part of GNOME, not
I-want-to-use-kde-and-gdm-and-nautilus-and-whatnot.  Expect such
issues.

My suggestion is: (a) stop whining; or (b) learn how to code and cut
out all sound stuff out of gnome-settings-daemon.  No matter what you
choose, there is one more option, which is much better: GET OUTTA HERE
and use Debian if you like it so much.  Not right?  Then buy a Mac.
Or Windows if you want to.  PERIOD.

Oh, and in case you're wondering, you will be filtered out after I see
your response to this message.

Sincerely,
Chris "Kwpolska" Warrick.

P.S.

Oh.  So you want to tell me that [this][0] is a DM without a user browser,
and [that][1] (sorry for an Ubuntu screenshot), and [that][2] for sure doesn't
have a user list!

I'm looking forward to your answer, especially on the first part of
this message.
