| In CentOS5 you were able to create a server section in
| /etc/gdm/custom.conf such as
| 
| [server-Standard]
| name=Standard server
| command=/usr/bin/Xorg -br -audit 4 -s 15
| chooser=false
| handled=true
| flexible=true
| priority=0
| 
| After this change, Xorg would run with the -br -audit 4 -s 15 options.
| 
| Unfortunately in CentOS6 this is not the case. It completely ignores
| anything put into custom.conf as far as I can tell. It appears to run
| with -nr -verbose -auth -nolisten tcp by default. Is there any way to
| modify this?

much of this functionality has moved into the gconf2 stuff so you use gconf2 to disable things like user visibility and such things
