I realized I had not followed up on this post. The feature request was closed in the middle of April. If the user sets the $DISPLAYMANAGER variable in /etc/sysconfig/desktop with initscripts 8.08 and above ... it will attempt to use it. This will eliminate the need for a secondary initscript on Fedora/RedHat systems as well as modification to the system scripts. Also it was stated that you should be able to set the variable 'preferred' directly in /etc/sysconfig/desktop and have it work with initscripts < 8.08. I have not tested this yet.

I am glad someone will find value in it.

I thought I would keep everyone in the loop and let you know that I have filed an "enhancement" bug in the fedora bugzilla. The link for it is below:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/beta/show_bug.cgi?id=147304

The have linked to the FC4Target bug which is a list of issues that *should* be resolved by FC4.

I guess I would find it very useful. I could place it into the FAQ in

http://sps.nus.edu.sg/~didierbe

for those who want to start up entrance. I got loads of people asking
me how to start entrance in Fedora now that they had the rpm at hand.

I always shot at modifying /etc/ X11/prefdm and
/etc/sysconfig/desktop, which in the end was a hassle.

So if I can start the whole entrance just by a script, well that's
really nice. Thanks.
