During an attempt to install a second X display manager, a question is asked during the inatall for which of the display managers is to be used to /avoid/ a conflict. That's why there aren't complaints about gdm3 conflicting with kdm, xdm, wdm, etc -- if it did, there would be. -- Chris -- Chris Knadle chris.kna...@coredump.us -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
