1) Isn't it a bug that shutdown/hibernate options aren't available in
kde using gdm?
It is, it has been fixed now.

2) Isn't the issue not whether gdm or kdm gets installed (kdm will also
be installed with kde desktop group), but which one is set to run on
booting.
Yes. But not installing GDM in the first place would make booting do the right
thing automatically, so that would be one way to do it.
3) I agree that avoiding xdm is a good idea.
Are you suggesting throwing out all the lightweight WMs too? How's XDM any
different?
No. There is a difference between kicking something out of the archive,
and installing it by default.
4) If we change so that user ticking kde group install get kdm on boot,
what happens if user has ticked both gnome and kde. It's perfectly
legitimate to have a computer where different users use gnome, kde,
xfce, etc. So GNOME/KDE desktop installation isn't always an either or
option. They're not mutually exclusive.
Then they get a global default, probably GDM. (It's what happens now if both
GDM and KDM are installed, which is part of what causes this issue, the other
part being that GDM is always installed by default.)
Disclaimer: I'm a Fedora newbie, and clueless to how much of it works.
Here's my idea.
Could this be fixed in comps.xml ?
e.g. the british language support group has conditional requires like
the following:
<packagelist>
<packagereq type="conditional"
requires="kdelibs">kde-i18n-British</packag
ereq>
<packagereq type="conditional"
requires="koffice-core">koffice-langpack-en
_GB</packagereq>
</packagelist>
I think I'm right in writing that the only desktop option on DVD are
gnome & kde (don't think xfce is on there).
So could the gdm dependency in base-x group be a conditional one on
having gnome installed?
Is it a kdebase or gdm bug that the shutdown options aren't available
from a kde session with gdm as manager?
GDM made a change which broke KDE, Bill Nottingham has patched kdebase to match
the new GDM now.
