# This module declares the options to define a *display manager*, the
# program responsible for handling X logins (such as xdm, kdm, gdb, or
# SLiM).  The display manager allows the user to select a *session
# type*.  When the user logs in, the display manager starts the
# *session script* ("xsession" below) to launch the selected session
# type.  The session type defines two things: the *desktop manager*
# (e.g., KDE, Gnome or a plain xterm), and optionally the *window
# manager* (e.g. kwin or twm).
