- gdm for Debian
- --------------
-
- If you enable the face browser in /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf, gdm will look
- for face files (any gtk+-supported image format; see
- /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.2.0/loaders or similar for a list of installed
- loaders) in ~/.gnome2/photo or <greeter/GlobalFaceDir>/<loginname>,
- whichever is found first. Note that there is no filename extension
- for either location. greeter/GlobalFaceDir is set in
- /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf
-
- If you want a 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
-
- A note to translators about the debconf templates -- translations
- should be sent to the xdm package. I don't use gettext-based
- templates in the source, because I sync to the ones in the xdm
- package, and don't have any that are not shared.
