At any rate, IIRC, the reason openSUSE runs compiz over gdm isn't
because there's a huge need for login-screen bling, it's because Xgl
assumes that compiz is always there to double-buffer its drawing for it,
and so if compiz *isn't* there, you see ugly visual artifacts in some
situations. But Xorg wouldn't have this problem.
