"which xlogin" reports nothing.  

While the X login display is visible, 
dalton:~# ps aux | grep login
root      3020  0.0  0.2   3068   704 pts/0    R+   09:03   0:00 grep login

and 

dalton:~# ps aux | grep x
root       694  0.0  0.0      0     0 ?        S<   09:02   0:00 [ata_aux]

.

So the most likely candidates for the "xlogin widget" 
are xdm and X.  But where are the parameters telling 
it to make the graphical display on the server and 
how can I tell it to just use good old login?

The xdm manual is certainly not helping!

Thanks for any further ideas,    ... Peter E.
