NAME
     wdmLogin - wdm login panel

SYNOPSIS
     wdmLogin  [-d display] [-l logo] [-w <window managers>] [-b background] [-h
     helpfile] [-u username] [-p password]

DESCRIPTION
     wdmLogin is greeter designed to work with wdm(1x). It has several	features
     not  found on xdm's greeter. wdmLogin should not be called directly, that's
     wdm's task.

OPTIONS
     -d     starts on the specified display

     -l     uses the specified logo for the panel. The logo will be  resized  to
	    200 by 130 pixels.

     -w     presents  the  colon separated list of window managers, for the user
	    to pick one, or None if you want only NoChange to appear.

     -a     enables animations consisting of shaking the Login panel (if an  er-
	    ror) and rolling up the image (when closing the panel).

     -h     uses the specified text file to display in the help panel instead of
	    the  static  help message which is in the sources. Take care of long
	    lines which may cause display trouble in the help panel.

     -u     use the default username and password as specified in wdm-config  if
	    nothing is typed by the user. USE WITH EXTREME CAUTION.

     -b     uses the specified background image (see the next section).  If this
	    is not specified, then the background is NOT set.

     generic format is -btype:image. type can be any of:

     none   do not set the background.	This user can still set  the  background
	    via other means.

     solid  it renders a solid backgroud, and image is a color name

     hgradient, vgradient, dgradient
	    a  gradient  (either  horizontal, vertical or diagonal) will be ren-
	    dered. image is comma separated of color names, and  any  number  of
	    colors can be specified.

     pixmap
	    a  pixmap will be used for the background. image is the full path to
	    an image file (tiff, png, jpeg and	xpm  allowed)  and  it	will  be
	    scaled to use the full screen.

FILES
