gdm for Debian -------------- The manual for gdm is installed in html format at: /usr/share/gnome/help/gdm/C/index.html If you enable the face browser in /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf, gdm will look for face files (any imlib-supported image format) in ~/.gnome/photo or /, whichever is found first. greeter/GlobalFaceDir is set in /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf If you want screensaver running with the greeter, you should use the BackgroundProgram option in /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf, or make sure if you start a gtk program in the PreSession script, that it is started with the gdm userid, and not root -- Ryan Murray , Tue Jun 6 13:09:13 PDT 2000
