Description

Provides a traditional X Display Manager for graphical login sessions. It can start X11 sessions after user authentication and is useful for minimal systems, classic Unix-style desktops, or environments that do not want a larger display manager.

A display manager controls the graphical login path, so configuration mistakes can prevent users from reaching the desktop. It is simpler than modern login managers and lacks many current integration features.
