Agreed. It would not be "best", but at least there are ways to avoid the "worst". ;-) TTFN, Lonnie Borntreger

I wasn't arguing that the new KDM was good, I was saying they could have gotten "branding" without patching KDM - as an argument against the other poster that said this was just about "branding". But, I won't see the new login manager, since I saw other posts about it, and stayed on kdebase-3.1-5mdk (the new kdm is in 6mdk). > Modifying a big part of another project is not a patch but a FORK. > It is very bad and it is against free software philosophy (IMHO) Agreed. > > However, a login screen will not make me change distros, but it may > > cause me to change login managers - but that is why I like Linux, if I > > don't like some design decision, I can always make a change myself. > > I want too change DM too but they had REPLACE kdm with this HORRIBLE DM with > Mandrake stars everywhere :(( So use GDM. You can use GDM to login to KDE - unless they changed that also. I do agree that it should at least be a new binary in kdebase instead of a change to the existing KDM - or an entirely new package.

This should > at least be an option. KDM "branding" can be accomplished with a simple kdmrc change to use a Mandrake specific background image along with the Mandrake "star" logo. No change needs to be made to KDM itself. However, a login screen will not make me change distros, but it may cause me to change login managers - but that is why I like Linux, if I don't like some design decision, I can always make a change myself.

Im totaly agree with you , the mdklogin manager is ugly and anti-ergonomic , IMHO its a very bad idea using two step to login. i hope this is only an alpha release :/ -- Laurent Culioli <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Pschit
