I started here as I wanted to make sure that I'm not doing something very obvious wrong. While the setup may not be too common these days (otoh, how do other people operate their thin clients?), I'd still think that there are people out there using this, and I thought that someone might just turn up with a "works for me" here. If you say this already sounds valid enough for a bug report, I'll happily create one. KO> I just checked and found no report of this problem.

I can add one or two more things concerning the default xdm configuration delivered that need changes to make them work as expected. And if anyone can suggest a different display manager capable of doing indirect queries and displaying a chooser screen, I'm all ears... cu Gerrit
