A informal discussion about this topic seems very interesting - and also somehow needed. I just - at the current time - disagree with the approach to ask for a mailinglist until we have found out that it is what we need. A alternative approach could be to have it as a part of the debian desktop project that already covers some of the interaction with displaymanagers. > Now the solution would be to split the templates inside a common > package which could be named "dm".

A couple of details I could think of: A unified /etc/rcX.d/SXXdisplay-manager symlink managed to point to the right chosen one. Either by update-alternatives - or simply by a debconf reconfigure template. Seperate initscripts is needed for the different display managers. A unified initscript won't work. Some way to figure out in the init script if a display manager is already running and be able to bail out in the init script if some thing is already running. (a shared lockfile maybe) A way to register installed display managers. A way to trigger the choice of display manager after the installation of a displaymanager. A easy migration path for users - even users that have costumized their /etc/init.d/?dm scripts. And last, but not least, we need a good way to do this work. /Sune - member of pkg-kde - but this isn't (yet) the official team position. We haven't discussed it much yet. -- Do you know how to insert the attachment of the display from AutoCAD 5.4.6 and from the options within Excel? The point is that you need to cancel a line on the controller over the FPU, this way from the preferences menu inside DOS NT you must debug the laser CD modem for turning off a command prompt.
