Tiring of bloat, I removed everything kde-ish and installed fluxbox - |
| 2 |
without installing gdm (gdm was recommended in the Gentoo fluxbox doc, but |
| 3 |
I figured I didn't need the GUI startup. (bloat avoidance)). |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
I tweaked .initrc, startx'd and fluxbox was great......... except....when |
| 6 |
entering passwords (e.g. su; gpg), I'd frequently have to reenter 5-8 |
| 7 |
times. |

Out of desparation, I emerged gdm (without xdm startup) and BANG - |
| 10 |
password problem cured! |

| 12 |
Please explain why this happened!? How does GDM affect fluxbox which is |
| 13 |
invoked by startx/.initrc?? |
