How to control Xorg options when launched via gdm ?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • When gdm starts Xorg the -background none option is passed. With some unsupported window managers fvwm that don't redraw the root window's background by default this might cause a background redraw issue.

  • Is it possible to control the options passed to Xorg by any configuration file when it is launched via gdm?

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
