OK I'll bite there are technical and usability advantages of using gdm when gnome is used as the default desktop. For one consistency you have the same look and feel on the login screen as in your desktop, nice transition effect from going from greeter -> desktop, faster login due to usage of the same libraries, support for accessibility in the login screen keeping the accessibility options on if the user needed them for login and many others ... It is not as simple as replacing it with something else as you thing ... sure it isn't impossible but it causes lots of regression. I'd argue coming up to an agreement regarding the logo issue is way easier so lets focus on that. -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop
