Thanks for the full syntax; even though this is one of the first things I do on all new installs (whether CentOS, Fedora, or even Ubuntu; anything using gdm), I always seem to have to look it up.... and Akemi's page is one of my bookmarks for that reason....

Since my normal use machine runs KDE, and I use KDM on it, it's not something that I have to deal with on my own box....
