Package: debian-installer
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Please make desktop selection in win32-loader explicit by passing it the
default_desktop parameter. Attached patch doesn't change current behaviour,
but has two advantages:
- Makes it obvious what change would be required for win32-loader to
default to kde or xfce.
- Makes it easier to do that change via sed invocation (line mangling
instead of insertion).
With this change, win32-loader can be fixed on Xfce or KDE CDs with less
hassle.
