I just want you to be prepared for the criticism that is going to come in the form of flames on MandrakeClub Forums, a.o.l.m, mandrakeusers, etc. There is going to be a lot of criticism about "Mandrake won't let me login as root" and you ought to be prepared for it.
The workaround will be to switch to kdm, as is what I will probably do if this does not change, which is not a huge issue. Just be prepared. - -- Greg -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+VN+XGu5uuMFlL5MRAkZWAJ455avYBw/fbzOtkeGpV8VT+ep9FQCfXsTC tR6P49eLV38PiLwMqT5PDbM= =Znh3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
