That's entirely up to you. I have a screenshot up at <http://www.pobox.com/~epg/gdm.png>, if you want to see what it looks like. GDM offers something XDM doesn't: multiple types of X sessions. By default, Debian comes with a Debian session (which works just like logging in from XDM), an X session (similar to the Debian session, but i can't remember the difference except that it tries to use the X session manager, xsm), and a Gnome session. The Gnome session ignores ~/.xsession, but you can run programs from ~/.gnomerc if you want. > how do you get the fonts (like in xterm) larger? For xterm, you will need to add a line to ~/.Xresources like this: Xterm*font: fontname For Gnome apps, this is in a rather unintuitive place. It's in the "Theme Selector" section of the Control Center. For other apps, there's no telling, but it might be an X resource. -- Eric Gillespie, Jr. <*> epg@pobox.com "Let us be thankful we have commerce. Buy more. Buy more now. Buy.
