The sources support openssl _optionnally_ but of course with
a binary package, there's no choice. It's either excluded or required.

I told Chris about this bug, next RPMS won't have this problem.

Hmm, really ? Don't have that here...

Yeah apparently this happens to quite a few people. I can't figure
out why. Any time to debug it ? mandrake_everytime calls /usr/bin/fndSession
which does the job: it's suppose to modify /usr/share/config/kdmrc
using the window-managers file. It worked for me, but my installation
isn't really a standard one... :-}

Not used anymore ? Ah ! That would be why I wasn't sure it had
to be modified or not :-)
Anyone knows how stuff is executed by kdm, in Mandrake ?
(Ah - does xdm-config point to another file than Xsession, for
executing stuff ?)
Anyway - the point in window-managers is that if it appears automatically
in kdm, it should manage to run it fine - so both problems are the same I guess.
