Hello listers,
I have just decided to give GDM a try on a box running Woody. I have
found oddly, that esd no longer exits when the user does. Before I
used GDM, when the user logged out of their X session (which was
started by startx) esd died neatly for them. If I switch to VT, I can
log in and kill hte esd process without problems, but I figure the
computer is better at tedious tasks than I am, so I would like some
method to make it do this for me.
Similar issues with xnumlock - no longer starts when the user logs in.
I have selected the Debian option - it looks like that most closely
emulates the scripts used by startx, but it seems to be ignoring them.
Am I right in assuming that I should just put an entry for xnumlock in
/etc/gdm/PreSession/Default and something like killall esd in
/etc/gdm/PostSession/Default. Seems kind of clumsy to me, as there
are already X scripts in place for this, and duplication seems
unnecessary.
Any ideas/enlightenment/pointers to better docs? Have been reading
both man gdm, the gdm.conf that comes with the package, and the html
docs from it as well.
TIA,
Steve
