Description Brian Cameron 2004-10-20 17:49:51 UTC 
When gdm switches between the login, chooser, setup, and other programs, 
it ends up restarting the Xserver.  This causes all AT programs that are
running to exit.  The user must relaunch them in order to be able to 
continue using gdm.  This can be especially annoying when switching back
and forth between programs (like gdmlogin and gdmsetup).  It would be
better if gdm remembered which programs were running and automatically
restarted them.  Obviously it should not restart any programs on user
logout.  In that situation it is appropriate for the user to start the
programs again if needed.
