Well, yes, that's true. How does that count as 'well hidden'? It's
not like you can login without entering your password.
What about users *without*
password? It's insecure (in most cases), but
possible.
But yes, we have other DMs, so why bother with pointing out
what we believe GDM does wrong, when there's a DM that does it right
and is supported in Fedora? I've abandoned GDM myself when it started
using gnome shell and since then I haven't got the urge to point out
that it's unusable (meaning inconvenient, non-effective to use) for me,
because I can use something different now (many thanks to the people
who got LightDM into Fedora and made it work).
