I'm not sure it's a good idea. The Login widget in xdm is ugly old code. You will loose hair or your mind trying to hack there, unless you decide to first clean it up completely. If you spend some time providing a set of nice resouces for xmessages and keep it minimalistic, I think we can include your suggestion. I've been waiting for other comments. -- Matthieu Herrb
