be sure to fix all packages, lxdm at least fail for a trivial missing line:
lxdm-0.4.1-114.1.i586.rpm: directories not owned by a package:
- /etc/X11/displaymanagers
just add
%dir %_sysconfdir/X11/displaymanagers
I wonder if this will go away once these packages are built with the new version of xorg-x11 which owns this directory. Still there are issues with forward/backward compatibility: As the DMs and xorg-x11 may be updated independently it must be ensured that updating xorg-x11 doesn't break older versions of the display managers and vice versa. While the latter only seems to be a non-fatal build issue (see above) the former is a real problem during installation which cannot be solved thru version dependencies. Therefore it would make sense to include the dm specific startup files of dm's that were supported by xorg-x11 previously not olny with the dm but also with this package. To avoid two packages shipping files with the same name I'd suggest to name the files shipped with xorg-x11 "<displaymanager>.fallback". The init script will be extended with a heuristic to ignore the <dm>.fallback file if a file <dm> exists.
