> Hi, Hey > ... In se the idea isn't too bad, but I see one problem: I got Gaim and a terminal running Irssi in my session. So if I'd use this system, boot my PC, and only return an hour later or so, I'll be "online" with both systems, people will start talking to me, and they wont get any response, something lots of people hate. One could get around this by giving special states to applications in gnome-session (which defines whether the app should be started when GDM "times out", *or* when the user actually logs in).
Next to this (although I'm not 100% sure this is a big problem) if I (eg) configure my brother's PC to do this for his user, and I still got an account on the machine, I could ctrl-alt-f1, login on console, then use some bug in some program to read data out of the memory of one of the processes running (under his UID), or do some other bad things. That'd be due to a bug in a desktop app of course, which GDM/gnome-session can't predict nor prevent. > Karel Demeyer > http://gnometux.blogspot.com Ikke http://www.eikke.com _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
