Err... G'Kar wanted a little more than liberty, and the revolution (i.e. the the liberation of Narn) had already been there. Remember that at this point in season 1, the Narn Regime was the coming power, and the Centauri the has-beens who had to back away each time there was a confrontation. G'Kar wanted revenge and the destruction of Centauri Prime. And, let's not forget, the death of all Centauri. You think he wouldn't have done that if the Shadows had picked him? G'Kar as he was pre-enlightenment?
IMO, the reasons why Morden did not pick him was because G'Kar's aggressive notions were focused only on the Centauri. What Londo wanted was much more vague, and could be exploited beyond the Narn-Centauri conflict.
Though I'll grant you that Londo longed for the past, and G'Kar for the future. I'm just balking at calling genocide progressive action for Narn.
