"*Window* manager" != "*display* manager".

Yeah I know, but both have to be... SHINY!!! :-D


Bah humbug!!!

In a multi-seat Debian system where there are severalvideocards/xservers/monitors/keyboards/mice, all of which is nowpossible in Etch/Sid with just xorg.conf gdm is a must. It shows thelogon screen on each monitor and the user just logs on.

The startx alternative would be excruciatingly difficult: first goingover to the monitor with VT's, logging on as user, giving the rightstartx command, walking over to the monitor you have chosen, and youleave your vt dangling.
