gdm-2.20 2.20.10-0ubuntu3 (amd64 binary) in ubuntu karmic

 gdm provides the equivalent of a "login:" prompt for X displays- it
 pops up a login window and starts an X session.
 .
 It provides all the functionality of xdm, including XDMCP support for
 managing remote displays.
 .
 The greeting window is written using the GNOME libraries and hence
 looks like a GNOME application- even to the extent of supporting
 themes! By default, the greeter is run as an unprivileged user for
 security.
 .
 This is the legacy 2.20.x series which does not depend on gnome-session.
