The problem with kdebase-workspace (and kdm) is not disk
space.
Installing the kdebase-workspace package enables KDE X
sessions for users.
Oh dear, run for your lives. Last I used GDM, I didn't know
where to change the session type (I was looking). I haven't used
it in over a year since it's one of the first things to get
replaced on my systems. Looking at a screenshot with solar[1] I
see a restart, a shutdown, a power, and an accessibility button.
Nothing about sessions. Certainly not visible at least. So I
fail to see why this would be any issue at all. What am I
missing?
