+<PRE>2012/4/7 Jose Jorge &lt;<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">lists.jjorge at free.fr</A>&gt;:
+&gt;<i> Le 06/04/2012 22:53, Colin Guthrie a &#233;crit :
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Couldn't agree more. I'd say we can happily provide a tool to configure
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> autologin, but if that is configured, it basically just sets the DM to
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> gdm, and lets' it do the autologin.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> The fact that gdm is used should be mostly hidden from users.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> &gt; From what I've seen, gdm seems to be the best implementation of the
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> whole pam and authentication stuff, so this would be my personal
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> favourite.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Col
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Please note that autologin is lightweight and fast, so I use it for very old
+</I>&gt;<i> systems, where even the 30Mb of RAM eaten by gdm count.
+</I>&gt;<i> But I just can agree that if no one has time to fix it, we can drop it. I'll
+</I>&gt;<i> be away from computers for &#160;15 days ...
+</I>
+Does GDM provide change of desktop as KDM does?
+
+My scenario: I have KDE and Gnome and Xfce installed. For system start
+I have autologin set to start KDE. But when I am in a KDE session I
+sometimes logout and use the upcoming KDM to start a Gnome or Xfce
+session or even a session on a vt. Does this work with GDM as well? If
+so I'm all in.
