So Thanks again Jason, I didn't find that in any of the man pages I looked at. Just curious did you find it in a man page, or
by browsing?
Erm... You probably meant Jeremy.
Yes, sorry about that.
Thanks Jeremy.
In any case, docs regarding this stuff exist. On the web you can find very thorough GDM docs -- including some really interesting features that enable all kinds of interesting possibilities in behavior for X sessions. KDM's docs are online in KDE but they are rather threadbare at the moment. KDM is essentially an extension to XDM. XDM's docs are pretty good, too. You can find them in 'man xdm'.
Also I've read the man pages for kdm, X, X11R6, xinit, XFree86, and probably a few others. I don't have the xdm man pages because I don't have xdm. But Jeremy's hint wasn't in any of them, there was something in the kdm manpage, but it wasn't clear on what the syntax I needed was. Or maybe I read it wrong. I do try to RFTM before asking questions, and I am mostly successful in doing that. Hence since I didn't find it in any of the man pages I "read" (some are quite long and I confess to only skimming over them), I am asking where the information was found. For future and further reading.
Thanks, Brian

[Getting slightly OT]
One of the issues in dealing with options and getting things to work just how you want is knowing what terminology to search for. Google's great, but if you don't know how to word what you want, it's almost useless. Atleast if you can't spell, there's a "Maybe you mean....." to fix your search.
In this case, the kdmrc file would be the place I would start, and luckily there are references to syntax within the actual config file, similar to /etc/crontab.
Of course, you could run it by the local LUG and see if anyone has tried something similar, which sometimes works. =)
