What writes /etc/inittab during install?

Subjects says it all. I guess the answer is anaconda, but how does
anaconda determine what runlevel gets default in /etc/inittab?

I've had a couple of users complaining they don't get X when they
install F10 with base-x and lxde-desktop. This is because the
lxde-desktop group includes slim, which is not supported
by /etc/X11/prefdm, so I filed a bug against initscripts [1], but I
wonder if this is sufficient.

Note: This does not only affect LXDE, but also Xfce and many others if
you don't install gdm.

Regards,
Christoph
