> you may want to take a look at login.app, that just uploaded. login.app is not an xdm replacement. xdm handles remote sessions too. I would really be disappointed to see Debian using Login.app instead of xdm. Some choices here are: 1) A modified version of xdm-external+gtkgreet (from the web site mentioned earlier in this thread. 2) Some (tasteful) X banner stuff in the background of a normal xdm screen. They both would be easy, but with the first option I would be concerned by the rapidly changing state of the gtk libraries. (Red Hat is basing some gui apps on gtk, so users are unable to install newer versions of the gtk libraries without breaking these apps.) If the second option is chosen, the designer should make sure that the it works on 640x480 screens. (Some people still use 640x480 laptop computers - this causes problems with some software, including the electronic eyes "About" box.)
