Could you stay correct and respect people doing work for free there on softwares you are can decide to use or not? It's also judged polite to subscribe to bugs you comment on so you get to read replies to waht you wrote The new gdm has been: - discussion have started during the hardy uds 1.5 year ago - the new gdm has been accepted upstream by GNOME and used for over a year in several other distributions - the ubuntu team decided to wait on the change because of the known issues - the new version was available since jaunty in the ubuntu-desktop ppa and call for testing have been made - the change has been decided this cycle because karmic had technologies changes in view of the lts coming next cycle, it's better to use recent and maintainer codebases there - the canonical desktop team spent time this cycle writing a gdmsetup tool and fixing several issues in the new gdm version You can't really blame the ubuntu team to hurrying this change there or not spending efforts on the transition, it's not perfect yet but is expected to be better for the coming lts version -- gdm 2.26 has no graphical configuration tool https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/395299 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Sabily Team, which is a direct subscriber.
