| PackageDescription | X display manager for KDE
kdm manages a collection of X servers, which may be on the local host or
remote machines. It provides services similar to those provided by init,
getty, and login on character-based terminals: prompting for login name and
password, authenticating the user, and running a session. kdm supports XDMCP
(X Display Manager Control Protocol) and can also be used to run a chooser
process which presents the user with a menu of possible hosts that offer
XDMCP display management.
.
A collection of icons to associate with individual users is included with
KDE, but as part of the kdepasswd package.
.
The menu package will help to provide KDM with a list of window managers
that can be launched, if the window manager does not register with KDM
already. Most users won't need this.
.
This package is part of KDE, and a component of the KDE base module.
