How to start GDM automatically at startup?
It is possible to launch GDM, Gnome's Desktop Manager, automatically at startup so that you don't have to type startx all the time. Assuming you already have Gnome installed on your system, you just have to open as root /etc/inittab, and add the following line at the end of the file:
x:5:respawn:/usr/sbin/gdm -nodaemon
Make sure the path to GDM is correct, as it may change from distro to distro. Save. The next time you start your computer, GDM should show up :)

I'm a windows cnoevrt and must admit I just love (ubuntu) tweak. it even helped me to convinece my girlfriend to use my latpop (she recognised my computer and networks icons like on windows makes her less affraind) without dual booting.i was just wondering, in area of making things closer to what people are familiar with, will it be possible to include option for changing those 2 (top, bottom) bars into one (bottom) bar? (as seen on other evil OS') that would be great.keep up the good work!!ubu
