I got that picture from www.freebsd.org recently - can't remember
exactly where. It's an excelent opening X screen:
dev:~ $ cat /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0
#!/bin/sh
# $XConsortium: Xsetup_0,v 1.3 93/09/28 14:30:31 gildea Exp $
xv -root /usr/local/shared/mm/pic/FreeBSD/daemon1.jpg -quit
xconsole -geometry 480x130-0-0 -daemon -notify -verbose -fn fixed -exitOnFail
dev:~ $ fgrep xlogin /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xresources | fgrep geom
xlogin*geometry: -30+160
I haven't looked into what other program besides xv will do this, but
wouldn't this be a good thing to include as standard ?
