+# This module declares the options to define a *display manager*, the
+# program responsible for handling X logins (such as LightDM, GDM, or SDDM).
+# The display manager allows the user to select a *session
+# type*. When the user logs in, the display manager starts the
+# *session script* ("xsession" below) to launch the selected session
+# type. The session type defines two things: the *desktop manager*
+# (e.g., KDE, Gnome or a plain xterm), and optionally the *window
+# manager* (e.g. kwin or twm).
