Whoever packages kwm should just follow my example in the xdm package. If kwm would do that, people wouldn't have to screw with all this init script editing or displacing of binaries. They could just: dpkg --remove xdm apt-get install kdm (kdm might be robust enough to be installed without a pre-existing xdm in place; if so, great, you're easily in business) Since the Great X Reorganization, replacement of many X components is far easier than it used to be. People came up with all these kludges because you couldn't uninstall xdm without taking a lot of other stuff you needed with it. xdm is now its own package, and that is no longer the case. You can remove xdm without affecting the rest of your system in the slightest. Anyone who knows to whom to forward this for results, please do so. -- G.
