If g-p-m has decided to punt these no user cases as a design goal...then we need to make room for a no user solution and just as importantly g-p-m needs to provide a facility by which another daemon can transition control..or refuse to transition control. Don't half-ass support for some no user cases. Either make the general no user case part of the design or punt it completely and make room for a transition from a no user daemon to the per-user g-p-m. Half-assing it and only providing for "typical" no user situations is a mockery. You might be able to claim "typical" desktop situations now..but no user situations are going to be vastly more variable. Tying this into gdm specifically..would be an example of a half-ass approach.
My laptop boots to command line. I go into and out of X (using "startx" depending on whether I need an agile machine with minimum software running or a pretty desktop. It is essential that power management run regardless of whether I am in the desktop or not. Therefore I will use a non-Gnome solution for power control Therefore it is essential that I be able to easily prevent the Gnome power management from interferring with my preferred power management, and that this be supported by the configureation of the Gnome power manager and that this be documented as part of the Fedora install procedure. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
