3.30.2-1.fc30.x86_64 : The GNOME Display Manager

libgdm1

GNOME Display Manager (shared library)

GDM provides the equivalent of a "login:" prompt for X displays: it asks for a login and starts graphical sessions. It supports multiple seats and switching between multiple users. The greeter is based on the GNOME libraries and applications, and its look and design are the same as those of a GNOME session. This package contains the shared library required by gnome-shell.

kdm-gdmcompat

Provide basic gdm functionality to systems running kdm

This package provides a gdmflexiserver replacement utility and a daemon emulating gdm's control socket. The idea is to allow screen savers (especially xscreensaver and gnome-screensaver) and desktops which depend on gdm, to seamlessly integrate with kdm. The tools communicate with kdm via kdmctl.

gdm

GDM, the GNOME Display Manager, handles authentication-related

backend functionality for logging in a user and unlocking the user's session after it's been locked. GDM also provides functionality for initiating user-switching, so more than one user can be logged in at the same time. It handles graphical session registration with the system for both local and remote sessions (in the latter case, via the XDMCP protocol). In cases where the session doesn't provide it's own display server, GDM can start the display server on behalf of the session.

gdm3

GNOME Display Manager

GDM provides the equivalent of a "login:" prompt for X displays: it asks for a login and starts graphical sessions. It supports multiple seats and switching between multiple users. The greeter is based on the GNOME libraries and applications, and its look and design are the same as those of a GNOME session.
