hello fabian, thank you for your reply. I am running the freenx server on a japanese Ubuntu Desktop system. The main reason why I connect to XDM as opposed to just starting GNOME is that when i just start GNOME my japanese input system doesn"t get started. Loging in through XDM starts the IM properly. The other reason I like connecting through XDM is that it allows me to change language environtments on a per session bases without having to go in and changing my default language settings. If there is another way of doing this without logging in through XDM, i would love not having to enter the password twice.
