Some comments on the new xlogin:
If I log in, log out, and then log in again, the console output from the
first session re-appears in the console window.
I can't seem to copy/paste from the console window.
The scrollbar works in a weird way; the old one let you click the left
or right button in it at any point, and it would scroll some distance up
or down. This one you have to move the mouse to drag the highlighted
area.
The 'xmore' program used to display some of the "other options" has a
help button which is topical to xmore, not to the xlogin option
selected. This is likely to confuse users, or at least not get them the
help they probably want.
What is the "Electronic Ombudsman?"
