 I know this can be done with X. I've seen it with GDM and KDM, never
 with XDM but that is only because I never use XDM, or Display Managers
 in general for that matter.

 In GDM, there a GUI configuration application that allows you to set this
 up. Not sure how it's done in XDM but I would be willing to bet it can
 be done. Try hitting Google for some hints.
