------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-23-09 11:08 ------- It would be best to fill a bug on bugzilla.gnome.org for the sizing problem in gdm graphical greeter.. -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: NEW creation_date: description: 1) long strings are not wrapped and the user name box grows to the length of the string which puts the "Username" part off of the screen. Also, I could not login. Since I could not see what was being entered I do not really know what was happening. 2) the string substitution values %s, %r, %m, %h, \n, etc. are not handled at all. Instead they are printed/displayed literally on the screen. GDM normally displays the string with substitutions correctly. example "Welcome string" to use: Welcome to %s!\n\nMandrakeLinux Version %r\n with \nmultiple Intel %m CPUs\n and \nLotsofMB SDRAM\n for \n%h.\n\n This is related to the gdm bug that makes a user click twice to config GDM while at the login screen. The new theme "Enterprise" prevents the ability to do that - either click twice or enter the gdm configurator. User just gets beeps. Because the user(as root) cannot edit the theme and login, the user is forced to a console or to perform a reboot. I have not tested all the new gdm-themes but since the setup is similar, expect all of them to do the same. Those are some very nice backgrounds! and, I like the setup too so please fix this and the gdm 'click-twice' bug.
