Re: [opensuse-factory] SuSEconfig clearance: SuSEconfig.gdm & SuSEconfig.wdm

and regenerate them only when needed.
I think such a logic has to be inside for sure. But the bootup time should be reduced, not increased imho. What are other Distros doing? Why don't they need anything alike? What is so much more special about the SuSE way that others don't need anything alike? Is it just because of a 'lazy' coding stile for YaST? As YaST is reading / modifyng most of these files afaik. So: why not fix these tools?

ACK! Fonts are _really_ great in SUSE and it was the main problem I had with Debian on the desktop and one of many reasons why I switched back.
