Hi,
You could also look into wdm as an alternative X display manager.
The default configuration of wdm doesn't provide a background
image, but it has a nice login widget with the Debian logo in it.
You can configure it to put an image in the background, and you
can choose your window manager from the wdm login screen.
For me the big advantage of wdm over xdm is that I can configure
it so that anyone can reboot the machine without typing a
password (this is a boon on single-user machines like mine in
which the keyboard dies after an X session, forcing one to
reboot, that too with the mouse alone).
Best,
Raghavendra.
