Use something like this as your /etc/X11/Xsession (/etc/X11/xdm/Xsession
on redhat 9)
file:
#!/bin/bash
#Commands to run always
xscreensaver-command -exit
#Detect who is trying log in
USER=`whoami`
case $USER in
root)
exit
;;
*)
#commands to set up a users desktop here
#examples could be: startkde or gnome-session etc.
#All commands must be run in the background except the last one
#when that command exits, the user is logged out.
#If the last command is a script, it must be called with exec command
xscreensaver&
busymouse&
icewm
;;
esac
#End script Xsession
And make sure it is world executable.
