Sure, here you go: a display manager is a security sensitive piece of
code. Shipping multiple just because their names start with a letter you
don't like is not a smart move, because you end up doing twice the
security errata.
Please don't make up excuses to fight the desires of the KDE SIG. The fact is:
* The KDE spin already defaults to KDM. This is not a mistake, but an
intentional decision.
* As far as I know, the KDE SIG members who expressed an opinion on this issue
all want KDM as the default for KDE on the DVD too.
* I'm definitely one of these.
* Rex Dieter, who started that whole KDE SIG, wants that, too. See the October
9 meeting log: http://repo.calcforge.org/temp/fedora-kde-sig-2007-10-09.txt
Now how to implement this technically is another issue (I don't see what's the
big problem with having XDM in Base X and GDM/KDM in the respective desktop
environment groups, but there's surely other solutions too!), but saying KDM is
not desirable at all is something we don't agree to.
