"gnome display manager"

and no, not everyone is running gnome. thank god.

i would suggest you set up your machine with two primary runlevels, 2
and 3, where 3 is the graphical login equivalent of 2, which means
that there exists a /etc/rc3.d/xdm link but not any other xdm link in
/etc/rc[0-24-6]. (you should be using filerc anyway, it's the smartest
change to that stupid system V stuff i have ever seen.

once this is properly set up, the line containing initdefault in
/etc/inittab can be changed to 2/3 however you are liking the current
month.
