wdmLogin - wdm login panel

       wmdLogin  was  written  by  Gene  Czarcinski <genec@mindspring.com>. wdm is based on work by Tom Rothamel
       (xdm's external greeter protocol) and xdm itself, (c) 1988 X Consortium

       This man page was  written  by  Marcelo  Magallon  <mmagallo@debian.org>  and  modified  by  Jerome  Alet

       There  are  several  possible  ways of specifying a background image. The generic format is -btype:image.
       type can be any of:

       none   do not set the background.  This user can still set the background via other means.

       solid  it renders a solid background, and image is a color name

       hgradient, vgradient, dgradient
              a gradient (either horizontal, vertical or diagonal) will be rendered. image is commaseparated of
              color names, and any number of colors can be specified.

       pixmap a pixmap will be used for the background. image is the full path to an image file (tiff, png, jpeg
              and xpm allowed) and it will be scaled to use the full screen.

wdmLogin is greeter designed to work with wdm(1x). It has several features not found  on  xdm's  greeter.
       wdmLogin should not be called directly, that's wdm's task.

       Some variables that defines locale affects the look of wdmLogin. wdm program will  set  LANG  environment
       variable according to `wdmLocale' resource in wdm-config file.

wdmLogin can be customized by modifying /etc/X11/wdm/wdm-config.

-d     starts on the specified display-l     uses the specified logo for the panel. The logo will be resized to 200 by 130 pixels.

       -w     presents  the  colonseparated  list of windowmanagers, for the user to pick one, or None if you
              want only NoChange to appear.

       -a     enables animations consisting of shaking the Login panel (if an error) and rolling  up  the  image
              (when closing the panel).

       -h     uses the specified text file to display in the help panel instead of the static help message which
              is in the sources. Take care of long lines which may cause display trouble in the help panel.

       -u     use  the default username and password as specified in wdm-config if nothing is typed by the user.
              USE WITH EXTREME CAUTION.

       -b     uses the specified background image (see the next section).  If this is not  specified,  then  the
              background is NOT set.
