I think George added that note to the release notes for our benefit. .gnomerc sounds a bit silly to me, really, but I do think there's some cleanup to be done here. The workaround for now is probably to use ~/.Xclients to run your own "exec ssh-agent gnome-session" for example. Since Red Hat 8.0, the X init scripts, by default, run the X sessions under ssh-agent, so you shouldn't have to do anything at all. In the future, we hope to work out a setup for the X init scripts that is unified with what the upstream KDM and GDM maintainers expect, but right now, you should just cinsider the Red Hat init script setup to be distinct and different than what is referred to in the GDM release notes. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 56319 *** Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated. |
