    # GDM Configuration file.  You can use gdmsetup program to graphically
    # edit this, or you can optionally just edit this file by hand.  Note that
    # gdmsetup does not tweak every option here, just the ones most users
    # would care about.  Rest is for special setups and distro specific
    # tweaks.  If you edit this file, you should send the HUP or USR1 signal to
    # the daemon so that it restarts: (Assuming you have not changed PidFile)
    #   kill -USR1 `cat /var/run/gdm.pid`
    # (HUP will make gdm restart immediately while USR1 will make gdm not kill
    # existing sessions and will only restart gdm after all users log out)
    #
    # You can also use the gdm-restart and gdm-safe-restart scripts which just
    # do the above for you.
