Synergy on fedora

I used Synergy to share a single mouse and keyboard between my windows and linux(fedora 9) machine. It is really easy to set up this environment. I follow list used commands for this.

Install Synergy in windows and configure as the server.

In fedora machine, I used
yum install synergy

then edit three files.
1) /etc/gdm/Default
with
/usr/bin/killall synergyc sleep 1 /usr/bin/synergyc ip_of_my_server
2) /etc/gdm/PostLogin/Default
with
/usr/bin/killall synergyc sleep 1
There was no Default file in this location but, I rename the Default.sample file as Default using,
mv /etc/gdm/PostLogin/Default.sample /etc/gdm/PostLogin/Default

3) /etc/gdm/PostLogin/Default
with
/usr/bin/killall synergyc sleep 1 /usr/bin/synergyc ip_of_my_server
