Re: Things to check in release notes
One last sweep of the whole lot to make sure I've caught all the
recent changes.
By the way, what's all this (issues.dbk section id="consolekit") about
consolekit requiring one of gdm3, kdm, or lightdm? I'm launching my X
session from startx like I've always done (after all, why would I want
a display manager on a single-user PC?), without doing anything fancy
like unsetting XDG_SESSION_COOKIE or customising /etc/X11/Xsession.d/*
scripts. I don't see any sign of consolekit issues (ck-list-sessions
tells me "is-local = TRUE"). So why are the release-notes advising me
to stop using startx?
