The kdmrc doesn't have a GreeterScreen in it. I found the position
option and tried to change different options with no success.
As the system is in a remote location, I will try it later but this is a
direction to start. I will have to test it.
GreeterScreen is not listed in the kdm handbook.
I see that it is in kdmrc on FC20 but not 19.
Thanks for pointing me in a direction.
