I want to be able to package alternative displaymanagers in a way it can work "out of the box" the current way requires the user to hack some config files and since SWITCHDESK needs a replacement anyways and the freedesktop.org standard seems to be yet missing the DISPLAYMANAGER part its a pretty sucky solution imho. The switchdesk guis need a rewrite. so if theres just a bit sanity there could be change in the way DMs are handled too and you could even reuse the same gui. its work that has to be done anyways so i dont see your stance here. Do you think the way it currently is great? I dont need help with my personal setup. thats not the problem and that would be the wrong list. But anyways if you dont agree on the other parts either like getting that stuff standardized oh well... then i am not sure if we have a common base of interests. regards, rudolf kastl > > -- Rex > >
