I didn't mean writing code for GDM, but rather having a hand in shaping the underlying services, and making sure there's parity in what you implement for Solaris, and what will be implemented for Linux. > Anyway, is there a real need or benefit to talk about Solaris GDM > participation in a discussion about whether to accept LightDM as a > module? If LightDM uses the same interfaces as GDM, then you're going to have problems whether we stick with GDM, or go with LightDM. So you'll have a problem either way. _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
