[NBLUG/talk] Multiple GDM instances?

[Lincoln Peters]

I just wanted a user to have an easy way to tell if he/she was logging into 
tty7, tty8, etc., so that if someone else wants to log in, it would be 
easier to know which Ctrl-Alt-F<key> combination to press in order to get an 
available virtual console.

I would probably do better to attach a dumb terminal to the computer and use 
XDMCP to do GUI applications from the terminal, but I can't afford one.
