I don't see greetingAlignment in the man page or the source code.
The Dtlogin*Alignment resources adjust text alignment (left justified,
right justified, center) of text in the widgets, but not the entire
login screen layout.

Normally, Xinerama mode layout makes sure the login screen doesn't
cross heads, but I understand the 2FS operates as a single screen,
much like double-wide mode on the SPARC framebuffers, so Xinerama
isn't in use.
