Sure. I'll try that for version 0.2.0 < https://bitbucket.org/sirgazil/aurora/issue/8/>. Marcus, have you noticed an erratic behavior of GDM Greeter (login screen)? I've noticed two things: * Sometimes the login screen looks like the shell, sometimes it looks like fallback. * When there are two users or more to choose, moving between users gradually increases the width of the login dialog. I have to check if these have been reported upstream, but they may be the reason why Debian defaults to "session-name='gdm-fallback'" for the greeter. -- Luis Felipe López Acevedo http://sirgazil.bitbucket.org/
