Hello. You have points where I agree with you. The situation happens to be the same with KDM too: "the present system can quite easily leave a non- expert user stranded on a blank tty with a flashing cursor".
Also, I agree that "there should be a consistent behaviour (return to login screen) when a user logs out, regardless of whether someone else is logged in". The conclusion stands that login managers could use some love. I believe, however, that the functionality can be implemented also with the current systematic, and that it is a matter of taste, whether it should be implemented by reserving a tty to the login manager or not. It may be conceptually simpler the way you suggest, or it may be simpler codewise to just improve on what exists - I don't really know. Here's hoping that someone shows the login managers some love, either way works for me, just as long as it works. ;-) -- GDM should have its own virtual terminal https://launchpad.net/bugs/47008 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
