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. # # Have fun! - George [daemon] # Automatic login, if true the first local screen will automatically logged # in as user as set with AutomaticLogin key.
