GDM is the GNOME Display Manager, it is the little proggie that runs
|
|
in the background, runs your X sessions, presents you with a login box
|
|
and then tells you to piss off because you forgot your password. It
|
|
does pretty much everything that you would want to use xdm for, but
|
|
doesn't involve as much crack. It doesn't use any code from xdm, and
|
|
has a more paranoid and safer design overall. It also includes many
|
|
features over xdm, the biggest one of which is that it is more user
|
|
friendly, even if your X setup is failing. The goal is that users
|
|
should never, ever have to use the command line to customize or
|
|
troubleshoot gdm. It of course supports xdmcp, and in fact extends
|
|
xdmcp a little bit in places where I thought xdm was lacking (but is
|
|
still compatible with xdm's xdmcp).
