Running a "full" GNOME session sounds like a waste, but it kind of makes sense to run a mini-session to start the essential GNOME services and reuse GNOME infrastructure as much as possible. Screen readers came up, but there is also: - networking -- you might need it for login - suspend/resume support -- you might want to close the lid just after you booted, but before you entered you logged in - shutting down the screen and/or computer if nobody logs in for a while - sound -- you might want to mute / lower the volume to prevent any specific login sound from popping up - keyboard configuration -- to type your password in the right layout when you have multiple layout configured - screensaver? I don't care about that one, maybe some do There is also a case to be made for starting dconf to store the settings of the session so that LDM would reuse GNOME infrastructure for settings. -- Loïc Minier -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop
