A Little Confused
A little confused by the Debian login process when using a window
manager like fluxbox. In the past, I've always started the X window
system after a console login and startx after having first written an
~/.xinitrc. I was a little surprized after the Debian installation and
the addition of X window system and fluxbox to find myself automatically
at a graphical login screen. I assume that xdm is somehow run as a last
step of the init process. I've searched and searched the man pages on
the various related scripts, Xsession, the xdm scripts and the like and
can't find the file that generates the login screen. I'd very much like
to improve upon that awful looking gray hash-marked background -
something I've done previously via alias lines in ~/.bashrc - but,
assuming that xdm generates the login somehow, can't find the file that
initiates xdm to fix that either. I'm lost. Might someone step in at
this point to help?
