Thanks. I should have realized that; but the reference to
"xlogin widget" sounds generic. It is just another
program; the manual could drop the "widget".

"... will be automatically invoked from one of the x server startup script."

cd /etc
find . -type f -exec grep "xlogin" {} \; -print

reports that limits are set in ./security/limits.conf and nice details such as
xlogin*greetColor: Blue3
are set in ./X11/xdm/Xresources.

The invocation itself remains a mystery. Where, oh where is xlogin invoked?
