Bug#168601: default {x|g|k|w}dm: why not "disable" as a choice
Package: xdm
Version: 4.2.1-3
Severity: wishlist
Request: refine install script for newbie
When display manager are installed, script rightfully asks which display
manager to install using install script. Great feature but one more
twist shall make many newbie shut-up crying. here is my suggestion:
In the dialogue to choose the desired default display manager, please
add a word "console" or "disabled" as an option.
The content of /etc/X11/default-display-manager can be "null" or
any bogus word like "disabled" if this option is chosen.
If you agree, please propagate this to other package who stole your
script.
This fix together with Bug#168347 should make X really easy to
configure. :-)
