I'm not a DE or DM user, so I'm know very little about them. But I don't understand the concept of "user configuration" for a DM. Wouldn't that be like a user configuring /etc/issue, the login prompt or /etc/motd ? > Oddly this page states, with it's bare face hanging out: > [lightdm] was built as a relatively light-weight and *highly > customizable* alternative to GDM. Is this what is being described at https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/LightDM/CommonConfiguration/ ? Is that the sort of configuration you would expect, or would you want something different? Are you perhaps talking about which file, like .xsession, .xsessionrc, .Xsession, .xinitrc, etc gets executed when you login through the DM? Cheers, David.
