Based on its name, kdm would seem to be a display _manager_, which to me implies doing more than just sitting there waiting on someone to trigger something from among a limited supply of possible actions, then going sleep until next time.
It does *exactly* that http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kde-workspace/kdm/introduction.html
I did not know that.
Nevermind the terminology, neither using e.g. xdm, lightdm, or startx, one wouldn't achive anything different than using kdm.
Well then it seems *dm could all be better named. They are action selectors, little but menus and login input processors, not managers.
It is about kscreen/krandr, or, a users session, not how he opens it.
There was no allusion to such possibility in the cited thread.
Now i again don't understand this. What does KScreen overriding xorg.conf has to do with krandr?
This is what the cited thread was about. Fedora 19's KScreen ~v1.0 behaves in an unacceptably different way than krandr did WRT xorg.conf. The option to defer use of KScreen until v1.1 is available appears to be the solution I need to keep 4.11 usable.
For explanation - (lib)kscreen is separate from kde-workspace module. In order for it to work, one has to disable krandr's kded module. For making this procedure automagic, we have, for 4.11, splitted krandr parts into a separate subpackage which cannot exist installed on ones system together with KScreen. We have made KScreen as default, but as said, one can install krandr, and have the setup as is now with 12.3.
Who is the "we" that has done this separation that enables continued behavior that matches 12.3? Are you speaking on exclusive behalf of openSUSE developers? Is this "split" and/or option to use KRandr instead of KScreen in 4.11 a 13.1 feature missing from a standard KDE 4.11 installation? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
