[arch-general] Xsession inconsitencies in login managers
I've checked xdm, kdm and lightdm only for now, but all use different Xsession scripts to start the user session. Not that they are just different scripts/files, they behave completely differently. Should we strive for some consitency here? -- damjan

The Xsession scripts in kdm and xdm come from upstream, they work for us with minimal patching (to source our xinitrc scripts), I don't think radically changing them is useful. As for the scrips in lxdm and lightdm, they're essentially the same already (note that lightdm doesn't come with one at all, I shamelessly copied gentoo's script). Of course I'm open to suggestions to improve the lightdm script as there is no upstream there. Cheers, -- Maxime
