+KDM in Debian
+=============
+
+This package comes with a copy of the KDM handbook in docbook format.
+To read it, run "khelpcenter help:/kdm" from a command-line or go to the
+URL "help:/kdm" in konqueror.
+
+By default, the use of special graphical themes with KDM is disabled.
+If you wish to use the 'Circles' theme that comes with the kdm package, or
+any other theme that you have installed, you should research the
+'UseTheme' and 'Theme' fields in /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc. This can be done
+by browsing this URL in Konqueror:
+
+help:/kdm/kdm-files.html#kdmrc-greeter
+
+KDM Customization
+=================
+
+We provide a way to override theme-related values normally set in the
+master configuration file (kdmrc):
+ * USEBACKGROUND
+ * BACKGROUNDCFG
+ * USETHEME
+ * THEME
+ * AUTOLOGINAGAIN
+ * AUTOLOGINDELAY
+ * AUTOLOGINLOCKED
+ * AUTOLOGINUSER
+
+and background configuration file (backgroundrc):
+ * WALLPAPER
+
+You just need to create a file with overridden value(s) and put it in
+kdm override directory (default is /etc/default/kdm.d).
+
+================================================
+Below this is direct from the xdm package README
+================================================
+
+Debian README for the xdm package:
+
+Newcomers to the X Window System should first read the file
+/opt/kde3/share/doc/x11-common/FAQ.gz. You can view this file with your
+favorite pager program after decompressing it. For example:
+ $ zcat /opt/kde3/share/doc/x11-common/FAQ.gz | pager
+
+The default configuration for the X display manager (xdm) under Debian
+GNU/Linux presumes that one wishes xdm to manage one local session. (In
+other words, the xdm login screen occupies one virtual console
+automatically at boot.) If one does not wish to run a local X server, the
+following line should be commented out of /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers:
+
+:0 local /usr/bin/X11/X vt7 -deferglyphs 16
+
+Several configuration files are shipped with the xdm package; they reside
+in the /etc/X11/xdm/ directory. Extensive documentation about the xdm
+configuration files may be found in the xdm(1) manual page.
+
+xdm-config contains X resources specific to xdm itself. See the X(1)
+manual page for more information about X resources, and the xdm(1) manual
+pages for documentation of the available xdm resources.
+
+Xresources contains X resources that are designed to be specfic to sessions
+running under xdm. Note that this file does contain the resource entries
+for xdm itself -- those are contained in the file xdm-config. See the X(1)
+manual page for more information about X resources.
+
+The above three files, despite being X resource files, are not placed in the
+/etc/X11/Xresources directory (see /opt/kde3/share/doc/xbase/README.Debian) because
+they should not be used automatically in all X sessions; the /etc/X11/Xsession
+script merges in the resources of all files found in /etc/X11/Xresources, and
+this action would be inappropriate for these resource files.
+
+Xservers contains entries to start the X server(s) on the local machine, and
+on any remote X terminals that do not support XDMCP. This file is internally
+documented.
+
+Xaccess determines what hosts on the network may use the services of the
+running xdm daemon. This file is internally documented. Note that as of
+version 3.3.4-1 of the xdm package, all remote XDMCP access is turned off
+by default.
+
+Xstartup is a shell script which is run (as root) after a user has logged in
+on a server.
+
+Xreset is a shell script which is run (as root) after a user's X session ends on
+a server.
+
+xdm.options contains configuration options for xdm that are specific to the
+Debian GNU/Linux system. See the xdm.options(5) manual page for more
+information.
