As for this actual KDM, XDM, GDM on tty1/2/3, maybe playing with mingetty or inittab...but just thinking about that makes my head hurt. oww! not worth it.
It might be worth it if you have several monitors connected to the machine and want to give different looks to different screens. In any case I was wrong too. It's not enough to hack the xdm script. You also have to set up different environments for the managers, with their own config files. At least xdm won't accept command line parameters. It can be done. I set up kdm to handle tty7, 8 and 9 just to demonstrate *really fast* user switching. 1 second with one press of a button. Eat that, microsoft :) //Anders
