Are desktop managers supposed to handle more than that? rpm -qi gdm Gdm (the GNOME Display Manager) gdm makes it possible for you to login to the system. Let's avoid trying to shoe-horn what that means into legacy concepts like "desktop." There are absolutely real situations where a computer will have multi-lingual users. Wouldn't it be great if those users could have their native keyboard layout at the login screen for login names and passwords. -jef"Semantical games are my chosen blood sport"spaleta -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
