I don't even want to look for it. I'd rather swith to gdm just for
cosmetic reasons.
IMHO, when the user select auth by NIS or LDAP or Samba, DrakX should
disable list view by default. When you are using this kind of auth ,
most of the time you have sevral users ( > 5 ) and for me 15, and having
the fifteen users icons ... weird

and me gdm. Beautifuler and this is important because the first things
they see when clients/users see the computer is ... the dm. "Oh what a
beautiful login, is it XP ? - No, it's linux. - That's very beautiful".
And that's why they use KDE as their desktop. Gnome2 for 9.0/9.1 was not
ready ( i.e several apps still gnome1, features missings, etc ... )
