I'm obviously not able to communicate properly in this language:-) But
thanks for your patience.

No. I want GDM to run the program gdmchooser at startup - gdmchooser
locates XDMCP machines on the local network (think skolelinux
(~DebianEdu) and LTSP). Then users can connect to the XDMCP machine and
run the applications from there. At the same time I don't want users to
be able to login into GNOME or any WM at the machine in front of them,
but be able to see what computers are available on the network. In this
case it is not necessary to display the traditional GDM, but rather show
the gdmchooser immediately.

Again thanks.
