Are we really going to ship F21 with sddm as the default DM for KDE?
While it works, I find https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1155898 very annoying.
kdm always remembers the last session used for *any* user. The least sddm could do is remember the last session for the last user....but now I can't even make it remember the last user even with a sddm.conf file.

SDDM doesn't ship /etc/sddm.conf anymore. You can create one yourself. But you are right it doesn't seem to respect /etc/sddm.conf.
Although I would prefer it to be default DM for KDE.

Of course I did create a sddm.conf and it has no effect, as you've acknowledged. And, it doesn't even respect what are considered to be "defaults".
Both of those would, in my mind, disqualify it as the default DM.
But why would you prefer it in its current state?

It looks nice. It is being actively developed. I am sure these problems will be resolved soon maybe before release. And it is easy to switch to any DM you want.

I'll pick functionality over looking nice any day.
I also find that sddm seems limited, incapable, of dealing with multiple displays in a manner similar to kdm. With kdm you could configure the login/greeter to be on a specific screen in a multi-display environment. sddm doesn't have support for that.

I've been using SDDM now for quite a while with F20, and like it very much. I wasn't aware that it doesn't ship with /etc/sddm.conf anymore. I believe that is a mistake. At the very least it serves as a starting template for people to customize their own settings.

I agree. I don't know BASH. I don't know if I am suppose to use RememberLastUser= true or RememberLastUser= "true" or RememberLastUser=true;. A starting template is certainly useful.
