- <para>Starting with the 2.14.x version of GNOME, the default
- configuration parameters are stored in a static file

(<filename><envar>$GNOME_PREFIX</envar>/share/gdm/defaults.conf</filename>).
- This file is not intended to be edited. If modification of the
- configuration is necessary, you should add parameters to the
- <filename>&gnome-etc-dir;/gdm/custom.conf</filename> file. The settings
- in this file will override the settings in the static file. The same
- parameters in the static file are used in the configuration file.</para>
+ <para>The GDM daemon is configured using the

+ Default values are stored in GConf in the

+ modify the <filename>&gnome-etc-dir;/gdm/custom.conf</filename> file
+ because the schemas file may be overwritten when the user updates their
+ system to have a newer version of GDM.</para>
