Please don't make up excuses to fight the desires of the KDE SIG. The fact is: * The KDE spin already defaults to KDM. This is not a mistake, but an intentional decision. * As far as I know, the KDE SIG members who expressed an opinion on this issue all want KDM as the default for KDE on the DVD too. * I'm definitely one of these. * Rex Dieter, who started that whole KDE SIG, wants that, too. See the October 9 meeting log: http://repo.calcforge.org/temp/fedora-kde-sig-2007-10-09.txt Now how to implement this technically is another issue (I don't see what's the big problem with having XDM in Base X and GDM/KDM in the respective desktop environment groups, but there's surely other solutions too!), but saying KDM is not desirable at all is something we don't agree to. As for the security errata in KDM, this is our (KDE SIG) responsibility and we always take care of those errata, so I don't see how that would be a burden on the distro.
