Thanks, but even XFree86 globe is better for me. > I'm not sure which port you installed, but on my box there's no "Penguin > face". I have installed wdm version 1.20_3 as in: root@oak:/usr/ports/x11/wdm# less distinfo MD5 (wdm/wdm-1.20.tar.gz) = 7d3a5debe5005ee481e821951d4c9194 root@oak:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/wdm# less pixmaps/README The files in this directory can be used the "logo" for the login panel. "gnuLogo.xpm" is the "default" included by Login. The alternates can be used by specifying DisplayManager*wdmLogo /.../pixmaps/ at runtime. However, if I manually run wdmReconfig afterwards, I will get a beastie picture indeed. 2Kris: Shouldn't this be done by "make install"? If you ever find the time to fix it, please use this picture: http://www.daemon.li/downloads/daemon.png Thanks. > I didn't mean to put your artwork down.

XDM is fine for my needs. -- Alexander Pohoyda P.S.: Does anybody know a nicer replacement for xchooser?
