Great, glad to hear it! I think the next step will be to implement a
defaults file that sets the default behavior when nothing else is matched in
the logindomainlist file. Currently, if the logindomainlist file exists, but
no domains can be listed (due to all of the other domains being grouped in a
different group), the patch just shows an empty drop down menu.
Check out my other email to the list about my proposal for a 'defaultdomain'
file.
Thanks for testing the patch!
