    i'm the upstream for sdm, and i was wondering where "Pax Displayicus |>Managerius" is documented... ?

    | Hi,
    |
    | Well, it's a Debian-specific thing that was communicated among the
    | display manager package maintainers some time ago.
    |
    | The original proposal is here:
    |
    | http://lists.debian.org/debian-x/2001/08/msg00029.html
    |
    | That should be enough to at least familiarize you with the nature of the

    Hi, I am the sdm package maintainer (raising my voice finally...)

    It seems from the mailinglist post referenced that "Pax Displayicus
    Managerius" relates to _local_ X11 screens not messing with each other.

    SDM (as clarified in today's update of the package) only provides remote
    X11 access, not local screens. So I judge the issue to be irrelevant for
    sdm.

    Instead of simply closing this bugreport I redirect to wdm which was
    also originally mentioned and indeed starts local X11 screens, and thus
    seems to need implementing "Pax Displayicus Managerius".

    | i think it actually should be a bug against sdm-terminal, which *does*
    run a
    | local display manager.

    Oh yes, you are right.

    The above is how to do it (I hope...)
