My own approach to this matter is to not require a display manager to do anything more than Keith Packard's xdm does. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XDM_(display_manager) In fact, I mostly just use xdm. It's small and fast, simple and easy to debug, processes login via the Xlogin widget, and starts an X11 server (for local logins). I don't actually need (or want) a window manager to do anything else. If I need, e.g., to change what window manager gets launched at login, I do that via dotfiles, like God Intended. ;-> No, that won't be liked for everyone. Fortunately, it doesn't have to be, in order to work perfectly for those admins who choose to run it. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
