I used xdm once, that was more than enough. gdm and kdm both have options to do this, as did the one whose name I cannot remember that I tried once. Alternatively, you can use the XSESSION environment variable or use the standard .xinitrc/.xsession way of doing things. I'd either do that latter or use a more flexible display manager, I find xdm horrible. -- Neil Bothwick Why is it that when you transport something by car it's called shipment, but when you transport it by ship it's called cargo?
