Running gdam-launcher

The gdam-launcher is the primary gui for gdam. When it is run, it brings up a panel of buttons, each of which will launcher a virtual "component". In order to nicely color the widgets, gdam-launcher looks for a gtk rcfile default.rc in, among other places, ~/.gdam; a system default is provided.
