 * Display Manager
   * kdm
     * Add plugin support
       * Write plugins for different types of authentication

     * Create another source package for it from kde-workspace?
     * Remove xdmcp
     * ??? - leave it lighter as possible

 * Window Manager
   * kwin
     * Create another source package for it from kde-workspace
     * ??? - Will we remove any feature?
