FingerForce team - Would you consider adding libpam-fprintd to fprintd's Recommends? After installing fprintd and enrolling a fingerprint, I couldn't login with gdm even though the option was presented. Strictly, it might be excessive (enlightenment could use fprintd without libpam-fprintd for unlock). But there's an awkward usability issue now since nothing pulls it in automatically. If not, I can add it to enlightenment (along with fprintd). But it seems non-optimal to require this on every WM/desktop env package. Thanks, Ross
