The + gdm daemon supports the --config option which allows + an alternative configuration file to be supported. + The --with-configdir configure option may also be + used to specify a system-wide configuration location + so the gdm.conf file can be located on a mounted + directory. To support machine-specific configuration, + an existing %sysconfdir/gdm configuration file will + override a system-wide configuration file.
