Since every window manager / session manager is already registered with the alternatives system, I see no reason why the other display managers can't do what wdm already does. It includes a script, update_wdm_wmlist which essentially just greps the output of 'update-alternatives --display x-window-manager' and 'update-alternatives --display x-session-manager' and populates its menu based on that. Since all window managers and desktop environments are already registered with the alternatives system, I don't see any reason to complicate things any further. noah -- wdm maintainer -- _______________________________________________________ | Web: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/ | PGP Public Key: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/mail.html
