Bug#582633: xdm: it could be cool that XDM has a session choiser (jwm, gnome,...)
Hello, Thanks for the trick. -Well the solution is nice but bit artificial. I was wishing a little additional button onto the wdm which lists the WMs and let the user choose it, bit like gdm for instance. Kind regards Y.

sure. Actually I try to keep light my server box, and have tiny wm, and too wm-x11-login. Xdm or Wdm are ideal - Well, unfortuntately, I am not coder a profession, and cannot participate to furhter coding of wdm. Private time is however too limited, and evenings leave also not sufficient time-free for linux coding :( Thanks Wishlist is great with reportbug. It gives too to all users a way to contribute ACTIVELY to Linux. This report should/shall be intended to wishlist. May Tux be with you !
