| On 97% of my installations, not even close. It's
missing functionality

Out of curiosity: What functionality did it lose? I
truly can't tell the
difference here between them.
I've long since forgotten the differences. Two that come to mind:
1-The "default" mousetype-free (non-themed) theme layout in KDM/TDM is as close
to
perfect as any greeter could possibly be, and easy to "customize" by copying
kdmrc
from local template. Everything needed takes minimal mouse movement, if a mouse is
to be used at all.
2-No way to pick and choose user names, regardless of UID or GID, to be displayed
on login screen in any other DM that I've ever found. IOW, nothing else akin to
ShowUsers=Selected and SelectedUsers=userT,userD,userE.
