# GDM System Defaults Configuration file. # # This file should not be updated by hand. Since GDM 2.13.0.4, configuration # choices in the GDM Custom Configuration file will override the default # values specified in this file. This GDM System Defaults Configuration file # may be overwritten on upgrade, so to ensure that your configuration choices # are not lost, please make sure that your changes are made only the GDM Custom # Configuration file. The GDM Custom Configuration file is found at the # following location: # # /etc/X11/gdm/custom.conf # # If you were using an older version of GDM, your system may have the the older # gdm.conf configuration file on the system. If so, then this file is used # instead of the GDM Custom Configuration file for backwards support. If you # make changes to the GDM Custom Configuration file and they seem to not be # taking effect, this is likely the problem. Consider migrating your # configuration to the new configuration file and removing the gdm.conf file. # # You can use the gdmsetup program to graphically edit the gdm.conf-custom # file. Note that gdmsetup does not support every option in this file, just # the most common ones that users want to change. If you feel that gdmsetup # should support additional configuration options, please file a bug report at # http://bugzilla.gnome.org/. # # If you hand-edit the GDM configuration, you should run the following command # to get the GDM daemon to recognize the change. Any running GDM GUI programs # will also be notified to update with the new configuration. # # gdmflexiserver --command="UPDATE_CONFIG " # # e.g, the "Enable" key in the "[debug]" section would be "debug/Enable". # # You can also run gdm-restart or gdm-safe-restart to cause GDM to restart and # re-read the new configuration settings. You can also restart GDM by sending # a HUP or USR1 signal to the daemon. HUP behaves like gdm-restart and causes # any user session started by GDM to exit immediately while USR1 behaves like # gdm-safe-restart and will wait until all users log out before restarting GDM. # # For full reference documentation see the GNOME help browser under # GNOME|System category. You can also find the docs in HTML form on # http://www.gnome.org/projects/gdm/ # # NOTE: Some values are commented out, but show their default values.

The numbers # can have gaps as long as they fit within predefined set of 10, and their # placement order within this section and with respect to each other is # not important. # # CustomCommandN, CustomCommandTextN, CustomCommandLabelN, # CustomCommandLRLabelN, CustomCommandTooltipN, CustomCommandIsPersistentN # and CustomCommandNoRestartN should all be defined for a given integer N, # where N can be a number from 0-9 (if not the default values will be # assigned except CustomCommandN for which no default exists). # Custom command to run. Multiple commands may be specified separated by # semicolons. GDM will use the first valid command. Examples: # /sbin/bootwindoze;/usr/bin/bootwindoze, or # /sbin/runupdate;/usr/local/sbin/runupdate # #CustomCommandN= # Custom command dialog message that will appear on all warning dialogs. # This will vary depending on what you want to do. Examples: # Are you sure you want to restart system into Windoze?, or # Are you sure you want do do this? #CustomCommandTextN= # Custom command label that will appear as stock label on buttons/menu items. # This option can't contain any semicolon characters (i.e. ";"). # Examples: # _Windoze, or # _Update Me #CustomCommandLabelN= # Custom command label that will appear as stock label on radio buttons/list # items. The underscore indicates the mnemonic used with this item. Examples: # Restart into _Windoze # Perform system _Update #CustomCommandLRLabelN= # Custom command tooltip. Examples # Restarts the computer into Windoze # Updates the computer software to the most recent version(s) #CustomCommandTooltipN= # Custom command persistence option. Setting it to true will allow this # command to appear outside the login manager, e.g. on the desktop through # Log Out/Shut Down dialogs. The default value is false. #CustomCommandIsPersistentN= # Custom command gdm/system restart option. Setting it to true will not # restart gdm after command execution. The default commands (reboot, shut # down) all reboot the system by default which is why the default setting # is true. # In addition when corresponding CustomCommandIsPersistentN option is set to # true, setting CustomCommandNoRestartN to false will place CustomCommandN # in the Shut Down dialog set of actions, setting it to true will place # CustomCommandN in the Log Out dialog set of actions. #CustomCommandNoRestartN= # # Example layout for more than one command: #CustomCommand0= #CustomCommandText0= #CustomCommandLabel0= #CustomCommandLRLabel0= #CustomCommandTooltip0= #CustomCommandIsPersistent0= #CustomCommandNoRestart0= # #CustomCommand1= #CustomCommandText1= #CustomCommandLabel1= #CustomCommandLRLabel1= #CustomCommandTooltip1= #CustomCommandIsPersistent1= #CustomCommandNoRestart1=
