GDM Configurator can be used to
change the login apperance, and behaviour as well as
security and environment options of the GDM to varying
degrees of detail. This section describes basic usage of
GDM Configurator.
The Options box in the upper left hand
corner controls the level of detail and customization
offered on the tabs to its right. Below the Options box
is a brief description of the level chosen, and what can be
done in that level. The levels are explained below.

appearance, Login

XDMCP, and X-server

of the Options box.

Expert option and security
Enabling the expert option, allows for changes in GDM's
security to be made. Improper configuration may lead to
vulnerabilities for attackers.
System option and system health
Enabling the system option, allows for very specific changes
which can impact the operation of your system. This option
is only recommended for those who know exactly what they
are doing.
