It's needed for some more advanced features I believe like user switching support. It's just a makedep, so it doesn't affect the deps for running this pkg.

I sitll don't get the make dependency on gdm. I have *NO* login manager of any kind and I this package works just fine if I simply remove gdm from the PKGBUILD. Hardly a "dependency".

To add to my last comment, alternatively you could patch the configure.in to add /usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm/gdmflexiserver as one of the options it tries. Instead of the symlink, lightdm users could also do "--with-login-manager=/usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm/gdmflexiserver"

Yeah I meant (make)dep. Upon further investigation, the --with-login-manager flag isn't needed because by default it searches for a login manager, either gdmflexiserver (gdm or lightdm with symlink) or kdmctl (kdmbase-workspace). That is why "new login" works for FlyingFrenchman. So I think 'gdm' should be removed from the makedep and optdeps should be: optdepends=('gdm: for login manager support, required before compilation' 'lightdm: with symlink "ln -s /usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm/gdmflexiserver /usr/local/bin/gdmflexiserver" for login manager support, required before compilation' 'kdmbase-workspace: for login manager support, required before compilation') Or something along those lines. PS. Upstream says the latest version is 5.26.

The pkg does not have a gdm dependency, only a makedep of gdm which is removed after the pkg is built. Plus, not all users will have lightdm on their systems/certainly not in their clean chroots so I cannot implement due to a lack of generality. Thanks for the suggestion though :)
