-.SH DESCRIPTION
-GDM is a replacement for XDM, the X Display Manager. Unlike its
-competitors (X3DM, KDM, WDM) GDM was written from scratch and
-does not contain any original XDM / X Consortium code. GDM runs and
-manages the X servers for both local and remote logins (using XDMCP).
-See http://www.gnome.org/projects/gdm/ for more details.
-.P
-.B gdm
-is just a script that runs the actual
-.B gdm-binary
-executable.
-.B gdm-stop
-is a script that stops the current running daemon immediately,
-.B gdm-restart
-restarts the current daemon immediately and
-.B gdm-safe-restart
-restarts the current daemon after everyone has logged out.
-.B gdmsetup
-is a graphical tool for easily changing the most commonly
-used options.
-.P
-For full documentation see the GNOME help browser
-under the
-.B GNOME / System
-section.

-could also be /etc/gdm/gdm.conf) file. The graphical
-tool does not support all the options possible so
-editting the configuration file is sometimes necessary.
