If it was there it managed rather well to remain inconspicuous... I also wonder why my ~/.xsession was ignored. I just removed gdm and installed xdm. Doing this leaves you with audio devices owned by root/root but that's easily corrected in udev (where this should have been taken care of in the first place). Now if I could get rid of PolicyKit and ConsoleKit I'd be even more happy. We already have passwords, PAM, udev, selinux and whatever else - the last thing required IMHO is one more layer setting access permissions.
