gdm stuff

[Daniel Burrows <Daniel_Burrows brown edu>]

  Hi,

  I just got the latest gdm from CVS and it seems to be working pretty nicely.
I made a patch to keep it from displaying all the accounts such as mail, nobody,
and so on; I don't know if this is the Right Way but it works on my system.  It
hides all accounts in the browser except for UID 0 and UIDs between 1000 and
65534.

  gdm still doesn't seem to check the password I enter, though; it lets anyone
log in as anyone.  Is this a bug in my setup and if so, how can I fix it?

  One other minor thing: gdm's PATH doesn't seem to be the same as xdm; the
DefaultPath in gdm.conf includes /usr/bin/X11 but programs (for example,
WindowMaker) can't seem to see that; any attempt to change WindowMaker's
background fails with:
sh: wmsetbg: command not found.

  Starting a terminal and doing it manually works, of course, but why
doesn't it work from WindowMaker?  Again, is this a bug in my setup?  I use
the same Xsession file for xdm and gdm but it doesn't modify the PATH.

There are many of us in this old world of ours who hold that things break
about even for all of us.  I have observed, for example, that we all get
about the same amount of ice.  The rich get it in the summer and the poor
get it in the winter.
