Should gdmflexiserver systemd aliases, or should xfwm4 be patched

2015-09-04 Thread Sam Varshavchik 

I use LightDM with XFCE, and the "Switch User" option is disabled.

I tested the following fix, and it works perfectly:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LightDM#User_switching_under_Xfce4

I think this is a bug in Fedora's packaging. Either xfwm4 should be patched  
to look foreither gdmflexiserver or dm-tool, or gdmflexiserver should be a  
wrapper that looks at where the display-manager.service alias is pointing  
to, and invoke the appropriate switcher.

I would think the the wrapper would make the most sense.

File a RFE on gdm?

Ok. After thinking a bit more, I made a proposal for how to make all the  
necessary plumbing work, in bug 1260241.
