Does GDM provide change of desktop as KDM does? My scenario: I have KDE and Gnome and Xfce installed. For system start I have autologin set to start KDE. But when I am in a KDE session I sometimes logout and use the upcoming KDM to start a Gnome or Xfce session or even a session on a vt. Does this work with GDM as well? If so I'm all in. -- wobo
