        I don't think you're right ! :-) if you read the link I gave you and
spend say 30 minutes poking at it, as a casual non-expert you should be
able to have an educated guess as to what to add/change.

        ;-) that is because it's just a matter of 'knowing' not a matter of
applying yourself.

        GDM is not so relevant, you need to read what I wrote & the
desktop_detect code & make some suggestions.

        Of course - if you don't want to hack, discuss patches & how the code
works, please file stuff there, and not on the developers mailing list.
You would want to attach the mail I wrote too for a hacker in that bug
report too to avoid it being lost / useless.

        Thanks :-)

                Michael.
