12 I used xdm once, that was more than enough. gdm and kdm both have options
13 to do this, as did the one whose name I cannot remember that I tried
14 once. Alternatively, you can use the XSESSION environment variable or use
15 the standard .xinitrc/.xsession way of doing things. I'd either do that
16 latter or use a more flexible display manager, I find xdm horrible.

22 Why is it that when you transport something by car it's called shipment,
