- Yes, you need to edit /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xlogin (or change the
- resources so something other than Xlogin is run), and just
- before the part where pandora is started, start your favorite
- screensaver, with stdin, stdout, and stderr redirected to /dev/null,
- like:
- (/usr/bin/X11/xlock ... < /dev/null > /dev/null 2>&1 &)
-
- Changes to that file aren't preserved on new software upgrades/installs,
- as I recall, so make a copy of the changes somewhere.
