Bug#496690: xdm: want to use Tab to switch from Login to Password field

2008-09-01 Thread Phil Endecott
I have also configured Tab to have the finish-field behaviour. A mis-feature of this configuration, however, is that pressing tab while in the Password field will not swap back to the username field, but will instead try to logon. So if the goal is consistency with other logon screens or othe

Bug#527619: xdm should depend on x11-xserver-utils

2009-05-08 Thread Phil Endecott
Package: xdm Version: 1:1.1.8-5 Severity: normal Currently xdm suggests xutils, which depends on x11-xserver-utils. x11-xserver-utils includes the xrdb program. If xrdb is not installed, xdm only just works. Specifically, it will not be able to read the contents of its configuration files in /e

I've just installed a new system and hit this confusing "no error message if $HOME doesn't exist" problem again. It would be great if the code I proposed before, i.e. # Warn if the user's home directory does not exist. # It seems that $HOME is set to / after this script # is executed, so we ca
