it will probably look like that: kdmrc - old kdmrc, kdm-config, Xservers, Xaceess in one file kdmstat - the [Previous] section of kdmrc, so the greeter does not need to modify kdmrc kdmkeys (?) - optional, secret xdmauth keys (nobody uses it anyway ...) the "old" files, which will stay, where they are (i.e., in $(XDMDIR) without the debian patches): Xsetup - possibly optional, as i want to make a direct invokation of kdmdesktop by the greeter an option - but this does not affect debian, as it does some additional voodoo in Xsetup anyway (hmm - running Xmodmap and spawning an xconsole could be made native options as well) Xresources - gone by default, as it specifies resources for the xdm greeter and chooser - kde apps don't care for it. but maybe, somebody uses an esoteric background generator, which obeys X resources (as opposed to kdmdesktop). Xstartup/Xreset - well, yes - i guess, they have to stay. :) Xwilling - (hey - did you know, that it's now possible with kdm? :)) mostly optional. kdm has already a built-in generator for halfways informative "willing to manage" messages (cpu speed & system load). so far my humble plans ... if somebody has suggestions/requests - _now_ is the moment to bring them to me. greetings -- Hi!
