A Little Confused

[John Lowell]

A little confused by the Debian login process when using a window 
manager like fluxbox. In the past, I've always started the X window 
system after a console login and startx after having first written an 
~/.xinitrc. I was a little surprized after the Debian installation and 
the addition of X window system and fluxbox to find myself automatically 
at a graphical login screen. I assume that xdm is somehow run as a last 
step of the init process. I've searched and searched the man pages on 
the various related scripts, Xsession, the xdm scripts and the like and 
can't find the file that generates the login screen. I'd very much like 
to improve upon that awful looking gray hash-marked background - 
something I've done previously via alias lines in ~/.bashrc - but, 
assuming that xdm generates the login somehow, can't find the file that 
initiates xdm to fix that either. I'm lost. Might someone step in at 
this point to help?
