Login with gdm does work, but only partially. I can now add and edit
connections as non-root (ck-list-sessions now lists two local
sessions). But the long list of wireless connections I had defined (prior
to 0.9) is not there. Is there anyway to get those back?


As well, can I get the PolicyKit rules to work with other login managers?
I use wdm, but the trick of adding

exec ck-launch-session xmonad

at the end of my .xinitrc does not seem to work.


Thanks,


R.
