Xubuntu sorely needs a better option for x-display-manager. gdm-2.20 was tremendously helpful to have, simply because the alternatives are awful:
gdm - heavy GNOME dependencies post-2.20 kdm - heavy KDE dependencies lxdm - pretty, lightweight deps, but hard-codes xauth to ~/.Xauthority (*) slim - no reboot/halt option, unmaintained since late 2008, buggy (e.g. bug #240098) wdm - unmaintained since 2005, hard-codes ~/.Xauthority xdm - ugly, dated, no session selection, no reboot/halt option (*) Hard-coding the X11 auth file to ~/.Xauthority is bad with networked home directories; see bug #558765 So far, lxdm seems like the most promising option. (I don't suppose the Xfce folks have regained any interest in developing xfdm?) -- Please remove from the archive https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/550308 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
