Well, this review become too long and it's not easy to know what's up in the
current state, so I will try to summary the problem.

The specfile follow the packaging guide line, and seem to be clean. The only
blocker that stay is "howto start Xgl". There is two solutions to launch Xgl and
we must choice one.

Start Xgl from GDM (session menu)
---------------------------------
(+) The login time is shorter (last Xorg improvement)
(+) Can choice a X type before login
(-) Traditionally X is started on the display :0, but that is not possible if we
start Xgl from GDM (dislay :0 should already used by GDM) 
(-) There are 3 log files for X (Xorg.0.log, Xorg.1.log and Xorg.93.log) that
should appear strange for the end user. 
(-) For each WM available available on fedora, we needs a .desktop file (GDM
session menu
 can quickly look too long)
(-) two X are loaded at boot time + 1 if rgbd is used (graphical boot).

Try it: http://files.damaestro.us/xgl/Xgl-settings-0.1-3.fc6.noarch.rpm 

Start GDM with Xgl
------------------
(+) do not have any of (-) thing of the first solution.
(-) The only thing that I see is that the login take more time between the
username input and the password input.

Try it:
http://download.tuxfamily.org/fedoraxgl/6/i386/system-config-xselector-0.1-1.noarch.rpm

IMHO, If we *really* want to fix that immediately, we can just add a procedure
in the Fedora.README file. I don't thing that a tools to do that simple trick is
absolutely require for inclusion in the repo.

reply on comment#36: seem to be a beryl bug (have the same trick here with beryl)
reply on comment#37: the two tools configure the system differently, but the
srpms are the same.

ps: If somebody can make a try on rawhide and send the log error here so that
more people can take a look, it should be really useful.

Regards,
