I haven't ruled out a greeter like this, the current greeter doesn't for simplicity, and I'd like to see if I can get away without using the session. In the final product I'd expect more than one greeter to be available, so perhaps the default for GNOME is a session based greeter which behaves just like your GNOME session and an alternate greeter engine that is highly themeable. People who want fancy themes will probably be fine without a11y. There's a webkit greeter in lightdm currently which allows you to really go crazy with themeing. _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
