So if I stay tuned until Wheezy is released as stable, I can then install xfswitch-plugin without gdm3 dependency :-) I know that there is a lot of development in Xfce and that Wheezy is in testing. I'm totally happy with your answer and I will stay tuned. The user switching is not a show stopper for me or my family, it just makes things easier. And at work I don't share desktop or laptop with others. Thank you for your replies! // Mem _______________________________________________ Pkg-xfce-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-xfce-devel
