Obfuscation is too mild a word :-).

Where in the blue blazes has the settings for the options to run the
X server with gone? As near as I can tell, they may just be
hard coded in the /usr/libexec/gdm-simple-slave executable?

I'm trying to discover two things:

1. How do I add the -dpi 96 option so the greeter will use fonts
big enough to be visible.

2. How do I remove the -nolisten tcp option so I can connect to the
server remotely? (Anyone warning me about security gets 20 lashes
with a wet noodle, all my systems are trusted and behind a firewall
with zero open ports :-).

So far, it looks like the simplest fix might be to replace the
X server binary with a script that modifies the options then invokes
the original X server :-).
