Surely GDM will still be available as a package though...? If so, does the choice of default login manager really matter?

I agree with Mark Pilgrim: http://diveintomark.org/archives/2007/01/21/wrongroom Here's the basic problem: you're writing a text editor. Stop doing that. It's 2007. Saying to yourself "I'm gonna build my own text editor" is as silly as s

It gets better later in the thread: Yinghai, we have had this discussion before, and dammit, you need to understand the difference between "understanding the problem" and "put in random values until it works on one machine". "There was a
