A "chooser" in the GDM/XDMCP sense is a program that lists available |
| 12 |
hosts to log into (via XDMCP). |

I'm not aware of any program that will allow you to choose between X |
| 15 |
servers any more than I'm aware of a program that will allow you to pick |
| 16 |
MTAs. The simplest solution is to just pick one. Why would you want to |
| 17 |
bounce back and forth between X servers? |

Why should you need to write anything. Forget GDM and if you want to |
| 31 |
run X then type "X [ENTER]". If you want Xgl then "Xgl [ENTER]". But |
| 32 |
again, why would you want to complicate your life with 2 different X |
| 33 |
servers? |
