25 There is another option in the config file
26
27 # Hidden users
28
29 HideUsers=
30
31 No documentation that I've found but if it takes a non-contiguous list then
32 it might help get rid of some of the list.
33
34 Or take your chances and reassign user numbers?
35
36 I don't personally have a lot of interest but I see that it apparently runs
37 a setup script which could probably be modified:
38
39 [XDisplay]
40 # Xsetup script path
41 # A script to execute when starting the display server
42 DisplayCommand=/usr/share/sddm/scripts/Xsetup
43
44 The other thing I liked about kdm was that the login only showed on my
45 first monitor whereas sddm is showing it on all 3. Not a big deal as I
46 pretty much boot up in the morning and log in.
47
48 Cheers,
