I know that several/most of the ALT-linux patches have to do with PAM. My system doesn't use PAM at all, so I avoid using the PAM patches -I haven't tried applying them but disabling PAM to see whether WDM still works. I agree with previous persons about retaining compatibility with other OS's, even though I run only Linux. I've been using WDM and WindowMaker for 10 years now.
