This is not a good sign. well, not having looked at adduser-ng, I would have to say all you really need is something that can speak .xinitrc or, if using *dm, then whatever is needed for those sessions. Some kind of interface that can take a user name and set a sane default for the age group would be a good start basement: # jruser-setup joey --age 2 --no-password --use-gdm a simple command like this could speak gdm, create the session scripts needed to boot straight into gcompris for the user joey with no password required for login. even better, it could check ps and see what environment, if any is running and make the sane choice. Am I in a position to write this? heck no, but that gives and idea of what I was thinking. i could write the man page is someone could take that and build the app. A
