gdmXnestchooser(1)                                                 User Commands                                                gdmXnestchooser(1)

NAME

       gdmXnestchooser, gdmXnest - run an XDMCP chooser

SYNOPSIS

       gdmXnestchooser  [--background]  [--broadcast]  [--direct]  [--no-gdm-check]  [--no-query] [--xnest-extra-options=options] [--xnest=string]
       [gnome-std-options] hostname

DESCRIPTION

       gdmXnestchooser automatically gets the correct display number, sets up access, and runs Xnest with -indirect localhost. This  ensures  that
       you  get  an  XDMCP  chooser that is provided by your machine. You can also specify the hostname whose chooser should be displayed, so that
       gdmXnestchooser somehost runs the XDMCP chooser from host somehost inside an Xnest.

       gdmXnest is a symbolic link to gdmXnestchooser and is the same as running gdmXnestchooser with the --no-query and  --no-gdm-check  options.
       gdmXnest is useful for running Xnest without actually connecting somewhere.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       --background    Run in the background. You can also use -b to specify this option.

       --broadcast     Run broadcast instead of indirect (chooser). You can also use -B to specify this option.

       --direct        Do direct query instead of indirect (chooser). You can also use -d to specify this option.

       --no-gdm-check  Do not check for running GDM.

       --no-query      Just run Xnest, no query (no chooser). You can also use -n to specify this option.

       --xnest-extra-opExtra=options for Xnest. The default is no options. You can also use -o to specify this option.

       --xnest=string  Xnest command line. The default value is Xnest. You can also use -x to specify this option.

       gnome-std-optionStandard options available for use with most GNOME applications.  See gnome-std-options(5) for more information.
