Tiring of bloat, I removed everything kde-ish and installed fluxbox -
without installing gdm (gdm was recommended in the Gentoo fluxbox doc, but
I figured I didn't need the GUI startup. (bloat avoidance)).
I tweaked .initrc, startx'd and fluxbox was great......... except....when
entering passwords (e.g. su; gpg), I'd frequently have to reenter 5-8
times.
Out of desparation, I emerged gdm (without xdm startup) and BANG -
password problem cured!
Please explain why this happened!? How does GDM affect fluxbox which is
invoked by startx/.initrc??
TIA
