It's all comming clear now that I realise that the login manager is actually a gnome application. Could the dependency between the gnome desktop and the login manager be removed, so that gdm (I think that is the login tool) is not uninstalled if you uninstall the gnome desktop? Or the other way around, could it be possible to install the gdm login tool without installing all of gnome. Could apps such as the gnome-terminal be dependent to the gnome desktop,so that the installation of the login manager does not mean installation of all of the gnome apps. Clarifying the dependencies within gnome would make more sense to me than adding the gdm as a dependency to kde. well gdm require a lot of stuff from gnome it's like kdm with kde. If you want a minimal dm, lxdm is a good choice. For me this is not a bug. And please, for the next time, don't paste so long text, it make the bug hard to read after some comments. Better use the attchments, thanks. Status:

Often a more recent Mageia release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. -- The Mageia Bugsquad Mageia 2 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on ''22 November''.
