Details

Description:
The gdm PKGBUILD does not include the configure flag '--enable-plymouth' as it stands.
Without this flag, any user using gdm cannot also use plymouth.

There is little drawback to adding this flag.
Plymouth isn't needed on the system compiling gdm if this flag is enabled, and the flags does not inconvenience those who are not using plymouth.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Install plymouth according to the wiki article on plymouth
2) Attempt to boot with gdm.service enabled.
Once gdm is recompiled with --enable-plymouth added to configure, gdm.service boots successfully.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Won't implement
Additional comments about closing:  We don't have plymouth, which is required for building.

--enable-plymouth does nothing:
configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --enable-plymouth

The correct option would be --with-plymouth, however:
checking for PLYMOUTH... no
configure: error: Plymouth support explicitly required, but plymouth not found
