Hello,
can anyone think of a reason the rc.d scripts are added to kdm, gdm and
slim? They are not recommended by anyone& they are to be blame for
occasional weird problems. The standard and IMO only way is to start
them from inittab.
They dont come from upstream& i dont know when they were added, i
remember them being there ever since i started using Arch, they may
come from CRUX or something.
I am considering requesting them removal from all display managers.
In [0] Pierre said some people want to keep them for backwards
compatibility. Backwards compatibility is desired only when something
works correctly. Thoughts?

I've been running the various display managers (kdm, slim) via the rc
script for years now, and haven't run into any problems. Can you
clarify what the issue is?
