Fine. Thanks for your confirmation... I wanted to bring that one up already for quite some time. Btw, I am volunteering for maintaining the packages, if necessary. ;)
That doesn't mean I'm against SSDM for default, if it works. It doesn't really work on 13.2 (which I am still using), in particular logout doesn't work. But as I understand it, this is fixed with a newer version of gnome-keyring- pam.
AFAIK, correct.
There are upstream bugreports about this (which I've been following) which haven't seen any real action unfortunately. And there are Kubuntu bugreports about this, which would confirm that it is fixed with newer GNOME updates, So if you don't see the problem now (I can still reproduce it here on 13.2), I'd rather believe this is fixed in Tumbleweed... ;)
2) per above, if user enabled autologin, kdm may bring user to whatever desktop session after update, because kdebase4-session got removed already, and if more than one desktop session(eg. icewm) installed there, it may boot into wrong session than what you expect - plasma5 session. So I think we need a better way to handle update.
Yes, /etc/sysconfig/windowmanager needs to be updated. No idea how to handle this though.
Maybe replace "kde-plasma" with "plasma5" (or whatever) with sed in a postinstall script of sddm?
I'm not sure this matters though, the problem is more AFAICS, missing session desktop file (as plasma5-session obsoletes kdebase4-session). We will get this fixed somehow though. =)
Well, it does matter (still) AFAICT. ATM, we still have the displaymanager startup script, that evaluates /etc/sysconfig/windowmanager. It falls back to xdm if it cannot find the one .desktop file specified as DEFAULT_WM (i.e. kde-plasma.desktop in this case). If SDDM is enabled via "systemctl enable sddm", it doesn't matter though. So if you are using it this way, you are right of course. But that's not the default yet, or have I missed something? Another option would be to rename Plasma5's .desktop file of course, but I don't think we should go that way.
