-        The <application>gdm</application> login screen is managed by

-        but then <application>gdm</application> uses the system settings,
-        which default to a US <quote>qwerty</quote> keyboard layout. This may
-        be an inconvience to enter a password when the machine keyboard
-        has a different layout. One possibility is to use the screen-keyboard
-        from the accessibility menu. Another possibility is to change the
-        defaults at compile time, by creating the following file:
