This manual describes version  of the GNOME Display Manager.
It was last updated on .
GDM - Gnome Display Manager. Used to describe the software package as a
whole.  Sometimes also referred to as GDM2.
gdm - The Gnome Display Manager daemon (gdm).
Greeter - The graphical login window (gdmlogin or
gdmgreeter).
GTK+ Greeter - The standard login window (
gdmlogin).
Themed Greeter - The themable login window (
gdmgreeter).
Chooser - The host chooser which appears on remote displays
sending INDIRECT queries (gdmchooser).
Configurator - The configuration application (gdmsetup).
Paths that start with a word in angle brackets are relative to the
installation prefix. I.e. <share>/pixmaps/
refers to /usr/share/pixmaps if GDM was configured
with --prefix=/usr.  Normally also note that
GDM is installed with --sysconfigdir=/etc/X11,
meaning any path to which we refer to as
<etc>/gdm/PreSession usually means
<etc/X11>/gdm/PreSession.  Note that for
interoperability it is recommended that you use a prefix of
/usr and a sysconfdir of
/etc/X11.
