Subject: xdm: xdm should not start in all multi-user runlevels by default
To: submit@bugs.debian.org
X-Mailer: bug 3.1.7
Message-Id: <E10Hvp4-0002Tv-00@ppp-x9-36.ecn.purdue.edu>

Package: xdm
Version: 3.3.2.3a-10pre11v2
Severity: wishlist
It would be great if xdm did not start the local X server in all
multi-user runlevels by default. This is useful when debuging XF86Config,
etc. This is escpecially true now that there is no config file that can
be used to not start it at startup, as was the case with /etc/X11/config.

Well, this one never attracted much enthusiasm, and it's not obviously
right, so I think we'll leave it for the time being. Debian could
probably do with a runlevel policy, but I'm not sure how necessary it
is.
