Subject: gdm should start earlier in the system boot process

Date: Wed, 19 Jan 2005 11:15:06 +0100

Package: gdm
Version: 2.6.0.6-1
Severity: wishlist

Whenever I reboot my system I do wonder why gdm does not start much earlier in
the process, eventually allowing me to use the system while it still tries to
start databases etc.

Maybe this would require a better synchronization of the entire Debian boot
process, involving other package maintainers, too?
