I'm not sure that gdm should do this. After all a different display manager (such as kdm) might be in use. Could we at least in post removal do something like echo "if you no longer have a display manager installed, change default runlevel in /etc/inittab" ? Better would be refcounting the display managers as theyre installed/removed, and change it when it hits zero, but thats obviously more work. http://fedora.redhat.com/participate/developers-guide/ch-rpm-building.html advises strongly against this. There is also the possibility for /etc/X11/prefdm to (/sbin/telinit 3) if it finds no *dm. Fedora Core 1 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match. |
