Worked perfectly! Finally back with time-based login, the nice Avio theme and black background color when logging in! I guess the morale here is: Don't ever manually make changes in neither gdm.conf nor gdm-custom.conf -- [gutsy] gdm (including gdmsetup) ignores or cannot access gdm.conf-custom https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/195296 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
