NAME
gdmflexiserver - start a GDM session using the GDM flexible server mechanism,
or in Xnest
SYNOPSIS
gdmflexiserver \s-1GNOME\s0 options gdmflexiserver options
DESCRIPTION
The flexi server mechanism allows to run \s-1GDM\s0 sessions on demand, in a new
virtual console. The administrator can define multiple server configurations,
using alternate X servers, or different options, in the gdm.conf file, and
gdmflexiserver will present you with a menu, where you will be asked to
choose between those server configurations marked with flexible=true.
Alternatively, the --xnest option allows you to run a new session in an
Xnest(1) window.
OPTIONS
In addition to the common Gtk and \s-1GNOME\s0 options, gdmflexiserver accepts the
following options:
"-c
Send the specified protocol command to gdm
"-n,
Xnest mode
"-l,
Do not lock current screen
"-d,
Debugging output
"-a,
Authenticate before running --command
