Well I didn't write entrance... so they aren't connected. Entrance long ago was
due for a rewrite I think but I don't know what happened there.

The above has been new musings mostly because of Wayland and at least my desire
to have a "seamless experience" where your login manager can work properly
without X and then seamlessly fade out to black, then your full normal login
session begin and fade in from black. Entrance was definitely an X login
manager and even if the X bits were removed or made optional, it'd still then
have to add more and more of the features above that are already in E, and that
just doesn't make a lot of sense to do.
