The only reason it is not sufficient is a bug in SuSEconfig.xdm. It is
supposed to check for user changes, and if it finds any, not modify the file.
However, in that script there is a bug that nullifies that.
In all other cases, editing the config file is enough to make it stick, and it
will be here too, once suse fix the bug
