Well, I wasn't thinking just "nicer", I was thinking "cross-desktop". If the machine is running kdm and the user chooses "GNOME session" when logging in, he should still be able to reboot/shutdown the machine, which means gnome-session will need to coordinate that with kdm. Likewise with running a KDE session from gdm. -- Dan _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
