Product: autologin
Component: program
Summary: Autologin should use ~/.wmrc rather than ~/.desktop
Version: 1.0.0-7mdk
Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: P2
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Description:
Autologin uses ~/.desktop to record a user's prefered desktop whereas (as far as
my tests can tell), GDM, KDM, MdkKDM all allow user's to switch between their
prefered desktop (e.g. IceWM, GNOME, KDE) and record the last selection in
~/.wmrc. The format of the files is different so a simple symlink is not enough.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Note which desktop autologin logs you in on.
2. Set your login manager to KDM/GDM
3. Log in using another desktop other than the autologin selected one.
4. GDM/KDM remembers the previous desktop.
5. Log out
6. run /etc/init.d/dm restart as root
Expected:
To be logged in with the newly selected desktop
Result:
Logged in with the same desktop regardless of the selection in GDM/KDM.
