I'm inclined to keep the -p functionality. This most closely emulates the Linux behavior, and (though this really isn't a point of argument, but a fact), it also emulates Windows behavior. Users that experience problems can edit gdm.conf. However, I'm willing to take a vote on the issue. Honestly, I never knew there was a potential problem as all my machines behave correctly with -p.
