205 The LXDM daemon configuration <filename>/etc/lxdm/lxdm.conf</filename>
206 file options includes numlock on/off, backgraound image (bg), session,
207 etc. You can set a default session by uncommenting the line:
208 session=/usr/bin/startlxde and replacing <command>startlxde</command>
209 with your session of choice. For <application>GNOME</application>
210 session=/usr/bin/gnome-session. For <application>OPENBOX</application>

212 <application>XFCE</application> session=/usr/bin/startxfce4.

216 It is also possible to set the preferred session on a per-user basis by

219 Session=xfce</literal></screen>
220 </para>
221
222 <para>
223 You can replace the default dummy face in the greeting screen by other
224 image representing your user. For that, copy or symlink the desired
225 image to your home directory, with the name <filename>.face</filename>.

242 By definition, X should be executed at runlevel 5, consequently, the
243 same is true for <application>lxdm</application>. However, BLFS default
244 runlevel is 3. Changing to runlevel 5, from the terminal, as
245 <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user, makes the
246 <command>lxdm</command> bootscript to be executed, obtaining the
247 greeter screen:
