That was the idea, yes.

Whenever I find time to merge my hacks into the main tree.

Choosing is such a horrid hack.


[GDMCP]

Well.  I agree with the principles, here.  However, I'm much more in
favor of extending XDMCP to support choosing instead of reinventing
the wheel. 

Similarly, I think that the real solution for remote X logins would be
to add a new security extension to X (to complement MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE,
XDM-AUTHORIZATION, SUN-DES and MIT-KERBEROS).


But thanks for your musings.  I'll keep them in mind.
