Tumbleweed - WINGs Display Manager (wdm)
I have always used the WINGs Display Manager (wdm) which is light, elegant and integrated into the Windowmaker windowmanager. I have just refreshed tumbleweed and found WINGs Display Manager and the windowmaker applets were removed. /mymachine# uname -a Linux laguna 6.5.9-1-default #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Wed Oct 25 10:31:37 UTC 2023 (29edc7c) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux/ I have added back the windowmaker applets from the tumbleweed X11:windowmanagers repo (https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:windowmanagers/openSUSE_Tumbl...). However when I look for the repos with WINGs Display Manager (wdm) all the packages listed on https://software.opensuse.org/package/wdm are no longer available. A careful search on the web turned up nothing. Is there any way to get WINGs Display Manager (wdm)? Or is it time to mourn its passing? Thanks

Sure. If it builds and runs, submit it to a development project and then to the Factory, commit to maintain it further.
Thanks for confirming. Unfortunately, I am more a humble user than a developer, so I am not the one to step into this breach. I'll have to figure out how to get gdm or xdm, etc.. to work, but they are always so clunky. Thanks again. On 11/15/23 14:46, Andrei Borzenkov wrote:
