In my opinion this fix would be a nice-to-have, and not a requirement. Our ARC Stability requirements, to my understanding (which could be wrong, mind you), is that since Nevada has not yet shipped we can change an interface like this without being backwards compatible with previous versions of Nevada. Yes, "fixing this" would make the transition easier for a few users, mostly people internal to Sun. But it probably wouldn't benefit many people. I would bet most users who use GDM with Nevada probably have already upgraded to a vermillion build (or the GNOME 2.12 build available via the OpenSolaris spec files) and have already fixed the problem manually. We should bring this issue up in our GNOME 2.14 ARC materials and see what ARC thinks we should do here, and we can do whatever they think makes the most sense. Brian
