# Terms and conventions used in this book

GDM - Gnome Display Manager. Used to describe the software package as a whole.

gdm - The Gnome Display Manager daemon (`gdm`).

Greeter - The graphical login window (`gdmlogin`).

Chooser - The host chooser which appears on remote displays sending INDIRECT queries (`gdmchooser`).

Configurator - The configuration program (`gdmconfig`).

Paths without a leading '/' are relative to the installation prefix. I.e. `share/pixmaps/` refers to `/usr/share/pixmaps` if GDM was configured with `--prefix=/usr`.
