I don't like the current mdkkdm, and I prefer kdm (but gdm is beautifuller). But I understand too, that Mandrake need visibility, and providing a specific dm is an excellent idea to be a little "different". But, mdkkdm sucks :) Waht is needed is how to improve mdkkdm, not to choose a standard dm. If you don't like the curent dm, let's say what you want to have, and provide a design. For my part, only removing the grey widget arround the lit of users, and moving reboot move on the bottom will be a big improvment. I 've got the sources, but the sources sucks too, xdm was first and all *dm are derivated; I don't have time to increase my Hack-value for this month. Emmanuel
