Comment 1 Matthias Clasen 2014-02-17 17:07:23 UTC

I consider kdm/gnome a non-supported configuration

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2014-02-17 20:07:09 UTC

Development Management has reviewed and declined this request.
You may appeal this decision by reopening this request.

Comment 3 Martin 2014-02-19 10:02:11 UTC

I'd like to see opinion from Product Management, they could see this problem from bigger picture.

This is clearly integration issue and regression since RHEL 6.x and also from previous Gnome 3.x releases.

From user point of view and quality assurance, I'd like to see polished user experience and I don't see any reason for breaking previously working functionality/combination/workflow.

Comment 4 Matthias Clasen 2014-02-20 01:43:43 UTC

I'd rather question why kdm is included in the release. That came as a surprise to me at some point - it was certainly not in the desktop team plans for RHEL7 to support multiple display managers, and feature development has been done under the assumption that gdm would be the display manager.

Comment 5 Lukáš Tinkl 2014-02-20 13:48:56 UTC

I'm a bit surprised as well... kdm probably shouldn't be included in RHEL at all, it's basically dead upstream with several candidates to eventually replace it in the near future (sddm, lightdm)

Comment 6 Lukáš Tinkl 2014-02-20 13:56:05 UTC

And for the record, the whole KDE stack is fully ported to use the systemd/logind services, so running the KDE session under gdm should pose no problems at all.

This is integration problem in Gnome session when using KDM as login manager.

I know, I'm merely pointing out that getting rid of kdm should be no problem at all if we decide so

Comment 12 Martin 2014-03-05 10:22:40 UTC

KDM has been removed from RHEL7, this bug no longer matters.

Closed.
