I think you should always execute the gdmflexiserver and add a feature to gdm so if you login again, it changes to your previous login session instead of open a new one. MacOSX does that, the "problem" is that you need a way to tell xscreensaver that the user is already authenticated from gdm so the user does not need introduce his/her password two times. > > That's how I see it right now, that gdmflexiserver, who knows, AFAIK, > which users are logged in, can have a --show-chooser (or whatever) > command line argument that would make it display that dialog. > > Mark has other ideas, so please Mark, tell us :-) > > Any other thougts?
