Description William Jon McCann 2005-07-24 14:52:17 UTC 
Here is a patch that adds a configuration option to automatically switch the
user back to the original session instead of asking.  This is set off by default
for now.  However, I think it makes sense to enable this by default at some
point.  This is what people want to do 99% of the time.  It is also what OS X
and XP do.

Look ok?

The patch needs some work.  Mainly you didn't add docs for the new configuration
option in docs/C/gdm.xml.  Also, I am not sure I like the keyword
"DoubleLoginMigrate".  This doesn't seem to describe the feature very well. 
Perhaps it should be called "AlwaysLoginCurrentSession" or something.
