Description

The GNOME Display Manager is a system service that is responsible for providing graphical log-ins and managing local and remote displays. Note that GDM runs a full gnome-session when starting, but dependency on the gnome-session package is not enforced in this package to prevent a dependency loop: gdm -> gnome-session -> gnome-shell -> gdm
