Description : GDM, the GNOME Display Manager, handles authentication-related backend
: functionality for logging in a user and unlocking the user's session after
: it's been locked. GDM also provides functionality for initiating user-switching,
: so more than one user can be logged in at the same time. It handles
: graphical session registration with the system for both local and remote
: sessions (in the latter case, via the XDMCP protocol). In cases where the
: session doesn't provide it's own display server, GDM can start the display
: server on behalf of the session.
