Re: changing xdm settings
Ricardo,
Once you have changed your background color, you may find configuring
the actual XDM login window useful. The XDM man page [1] covers a
number of X resources that will configure how the various widgets in the
login window are drawn. I believe XDM in Debian
reads /etc/X11/xdm/Xresources. Also, this project [2] covers some
details of configuring a pretty XDM.
