I guess I didn't use it long enough for it to do that. =)

I'll find out how it works for me as soon as Azureus finishes up with a
download. I chose to edit the init file changing the path to wdm and
adding /usr/X11R6/[s]bin to the path statement. I also did the same for
wdmLogin in the config files (/etc/X11/wdm/[wdn-config|wdm.options]) I
hope it works :-D
