I think, 95% of the people will prefer the original kdm. A lot of work has to be done to improve the usuability of kdmmdk. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: RESOLVED creation_date: description: I've openned this as a bug because I think it has real usability and security problems, and because there is an easy solution: The new Mandrake "kdm" that removes the login text field, forces users to login in only if they are listed, and makes loging in a two-stage process is a big usability and security problem. A good solution would probably be: 1) A mdkkdm package (that can be installed by default) that has this new kdm in it (although, I surely hope that it is improved before it's used anywhere!) 2) The original unmodified (but it can be branded, as usual--we have no problem with that) kdm being installed by kdebase, and used if mdkkdm is not installed. Others have made plenty of comments in the cooker ML and can add comments here as appropriate.
