- Interval in which to ping the Xserver in seconds. If the
- Xserver does not respond before the next time we ping it, the
- connection is stopped and the session ended. This is a
- combination of the XDM PingInterval and PingTimeout, but in
- seconds.
+ If the Xserver does not respond in the specified number of
+ seconds, then the connection is stopped and the session ended.
+ When this happens the slave daemon dies with an ALARM signal.
+ Note that GDM 2.20 and earlier multiplied this setting by 2,
+ so it may be necessary to increase the timeout if upgrading
+ from GDM 2.20 and earlier to a newer version.
