This made testing any little idea take way too long. It would be nice to have a faster way of testing it. If anyone has any experience running a nested instance of GDM, being able to do that would be a big help. (The trade off is that figuring that out might be just as hard as fixing GDM in the first place.) Other than that, I agree that this is a critical feature. GNOME needs GDM to work smoothly, and GNOME is pretty important for wider adoption. I am happy to take another look at this (eventually!), but I do not have any particular expertise here, so if anyone else is feeling brave, they would have just as good a chance at fixing it as me. :) -- Tim
