Description: Next generation GNOME Display Manager
 GDM provides the equivalent of a "login:" prompt for X displays: it asks for a
 login and starts X sessions. 
 
 It provides all the functionality of XDM, including XDMCP support for managing
 remote displays, and extends it with the ability to start X servers on demand. 
 
 The greeter is written using the GNOME libraries and hence looks like a GNOME
 application - even to the extent of supporting themes! 
 
 This package contains the next generation GDM, which was developed using the
 technologies on which GNOME 3 is based.
