i have quite a beautiful xdm setup now... i have a background image and
i set all the colours of the xdm widgets to blend into the background
image... so it looks like there are no widgets...

to remove the lines, i set

xlogin*borderWidth: 0
xlogin*frameWidth: 0
xlogin*innerFramesWidth: 0
xlogin*shdColor: #3398cc
xlogin*hiColor: #3398cc
xlogin*background: #3398cc
xlogin*foreground: black
xlogin*greetColor: black
xlogin*failColor: red
*Foreground: black
*Background: #fffff0

where #3398cc is the colour which makes everything look transparent in
context to my background image... also i had to fiddle with the standard
XFree86 logo in order to remove some stray white pixels from the rim...
i turned the logo off in the end anyway, but if anyone wants the touched
up logo, let me know.

cheers,
Sam
