Never thought of opening one, but it's a good idea.
I won't be able to test this for another week. Would you (or anyone
else) test to see if gdm works with plasma yet, and if not, file a
bugzilla.
For me, the problem was that plasma would show up in the list, but it
wouldn't do anything. I'm assuming it was simply calling the wrong
thing to start it, or permissions. I never investigated to much since
I wanted to include sddm anyway.
Huh ... it's working now.
Though that was on a machine that already had sddm installed, and had
booted KDE previously. I'll have to test on a fresh machine.
