Some distributions ship a .desktop file that adds Sugar to the desktops option in gdm (and I guess in kdm). I'm not 100% sure if it is present in the debian packages, Jonas could confirm. We don't have a display manager of our own, but anyone standards compliant should work with Sugar. Regards, Tomeu -- «Sugar Labs is anyone who participates in improving and using Sugar.
