What : Customizing your logon - GDM and KDM themes (and more?)
Who  : Rob Anderson, members
Day  : Mon 11 Dec 2006
Time : 7:00 PM
Where: Room 301, Morse Hall, UNH, Durham, NH

 This December, SLUG will be exploring customization of GDM and KDM, with a
focus on themes.  Rob will be presenting how to find, install, and modify
themes for both.  Depending on time and interest, we may also look at
general configuration.

What are GDM, KDM, XDM?
-----------------------

XDM = X display manager
xdm = The original XDM implementation
GDM = GNOME display manager
KDM = KDE display manager

 These days, an XDM's major purpose is to present the graphical login
screen you see when a Linux computer finishes starting up.  Both GNOME and
KDE provide full-featured, customizable, themeable XDMs. You can change how
they look and how they act.  This is mainly about aesthetics, of course, but
aesthetics are still important.  And it isn't all eye candy.  Maybe it's a
corporate computer or a kiosk, and you want a company logo.  Maybe you
want an auto-logon or a face browser.  Or maybe you're just tired of looking
at the Fedora logo.
