I would consider it a failed advocacy effort :-) xdm is not installed by default either - you have to install the XFree package to get it. (But that's nitpicking, ok...) wdm is the Wings Display Manager, and is sort of the xdm replacement if you want to have something that fits WindowMaker. It's light and easy. Why would it be a failed advocacy effort? > I have just installed that port on 4.8-STABLE, and got an ugly Penguin > face on my screen!! Thanks, but even XFree86 globe is better for me.
