I am trying to configure TDM.
The default is some kind of black background. The login dialog is so dark of a gray that I can't read the black text in the dialog. This seems to be an os_enterprise theme? Is this the normal default?
Using the TCC Login Manager module I was able to get something usable, but I had to manually edit the tdmrc file to Theme= (nothing) to kill that dark theme.
The login dialog has a title bar with a caption that says 'Login to TDE'. Looking at the code this seems hard-coded? Can this be changed? Seems the caption should say 'Login' or possibly be dynamic to whatever session the user selects?
Regardless of whatever session I select I get dumped into a terminal window shell. Seems something is misconfigured and TDM is not sourcing any xsession files.
Appreciate any help.

Might make a difference which distro you're using.

Most problems seem to arise from when people try to do things that basically are not needed. Why and what are you wanting to configure (I mean, I only play with a few pictures shown by TDM, TDM basically works as it is for me, so I don't understand what you are trying to tweak).

If you're talking about the login screen, then no, it's not the normal default (at least here on Debian). I get a picture background (in a sort of blue if I remember well) that I changed using the Control Center.
From my experience, if you *have* to do all this tweaking, something is seriously corrupted in your setup.
I've installed TDE on dozens of Debian flavours, and always got a usable login screen and a working desktop without any tweaking.
