-
- To make this collection complete: You may also do a
-
- dwrite loginwindow DefaultUser <loginname>
-
- This will login the user "<loginname>" instead of "me"
- automatically. <loginname> must not have a password. This is
- not suitable for a networked environment.
-
- You may also do a
-
- dwrite loginwindow MoveWhenIdle YES
-
- The loginwindow will begin to sweep across the screen after an
- idle period to prevent burnin. The animation is extremely bad.
