gdm conflicts with fast-user-switch-applet [SOLVED]

As the title indicates, pacman won't upgrade gdm unless I remove fast-user-switch-applet.
Is the latter supposed to be removed for the new GNOME version?

Removing seems to be safe:

Re: gdm conflicts with fast-user-switch-applet [SOLVED]

when pacman asks to replaced fast-user-switch-applet with gdm, answer YES


Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Re: gdm conflicts with fast-user-switch-applet [SOLVED]

My last major upgrade last weekend ask me this and I answered yes.  However, on the reboot gdm did not appear instead a very different login screen appeared and my keyboard did not work.  So I uninstalled gdm and my system is now unusable. Has anyone have the same problem?  Please help or direct to a solution.  Thanks a lot.

Hi. i have a problem. First i removed  fast-user-switch-applet with pacman -Rd  fast-user-switch-applet and then i did pacman -Syu. My keyboard works fine but i had accesible login enabled. now i can't remove accesible login because this option does not exist no more. how can i remove the accesible login?
