>Description:
Our XDM defaults are horribly ugly. Instead of the same
yucky looking XDM defaults that have shipped with X11
since the dawn of time, we should improve the appearance
of our default XDM display:
- nicer font (possibly a nice, clean sans-serif?)
- Display a soothing, solid color instead of that
eye-bleeding X-root-window-hash.
- Possibly including a brand-identifying logo
in the XDM display by default (like a daemon,
or something equally/more clever).
>How-To-Repeat:
Start XDM. Weep openly in front of your co-workers upon
seeing how incredibly ugly the display is.
>Fix:
Not supplied.
