Hi,
Up until the gdm bundled with F18 Alpha, gdm used to show the user list
(say one user and the "not listed" option) with the username selected, and
a keypress of "Return" or "Spacebar" used to allow directly entering the
password for the user [1]. In gdm-3.6, this default selection is gone, and
now first the username has to be clicked, followed by entering the password
[2].
Is this an intended behaviour or a regression?
$ rpm -qa | grep gdm
gdm-3.6.0-1.fc18.x86_64

So during Alpha I heard a few rumblings that the F18 minimal install was
very large. Having a few minutes free this afternoon I thought I'd
compare F17 and F18 minimal installs. I did a minimal install from the
F17 DVD, then a minimal install with the latest F18 pre-beta smoketest
image (from online repos), then looked at the package lists and space
taken by the install. Result is that F18 minimal install is in fact
smaller than F17's: it installs fewer packages and uses less space.
F18 minimal install installs 194 packages and uses 723MB in / and 44MB
in /boot.
F17 minimal install installs 209 packages and uses 821MB in / and 55MB
in /boot.
So it looks like at least as of now, F18 is doing pretty well on this
front.
