Of course I meant gdm. Brain fart I guess.

Guess someone has to decide if the default config file
should allow root to log in, since as of now the
default config file installed by the package DOES
allow it.

Why can't you have different profiles for different
users?
Anyway I CAN run gnome-apt logged in as a normal user
if I involk it from an xterm after su'ing. Oh and
after some fooling around I discovered that I could
display the packages in gnome-apt in section order
(like in dselect) rather than pure alphabetical order.
I think that should be the default setting BTW.
One question (observation). The gnome menus were NOT
modified after installing new packages. For example
the gimp was NOT added to the graphics ap menu. Is
this a bug? How do I add ap's to the gnome menu?
I'm gonna keep banging on potato and report back
later.
