Hi,
This may be a little bit off topic.
I'm looking for light weight display manager that have features like kdm
or gdm (you can set your own background, icon, theme, etc). At this
moment I'm using xdm which rather ugly if you compare it against kdm or
gdm (or maybe I should read more about it??).
Anybody know where I have to look at?

That's it - three of 'em. Yes, you need to read - xdm is very
customizable.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XDMhttp://www.linuxjournal.com/article/3325

Also, there's "SLiM" (http://slim.berlios.de/), which might be
worthwhile looking into. I've used it on occasion, and it works pretty
well.
