Re: quick question about GDM

[MIchael Thomas <michaelv cox-internet com>]

I misunderstood the 1st question.
edit the file /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession
look for the line xsetroot -solid '#012345'

Just in case you don't know the #012345 is the color.
You can use the gimps color selector to figure out what color
corresponds to what alphanumeric color name.

Maybe xdm controls the keymaps too?
