Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gdm
I change my face image in gnome-about-me by selecting About Me from the system menu. I select my face image, let's say by selecting the dice.jpg file in the /usr/share/pixmaps/faces directory. ~/.face is created. I restart twice and the dice image is shown as my face image in the face browser. I now manually change the ~/.face file to astronaut.jpg (cp /usr/share/pixmaps/faces/astronaut.jpg ~/.face). When I restart, the astronaut image is now shown as my face image in the face browser but the dice image is still shown as the face image in gnome-about-me. The face image in gnome-about-me should also change even if the ~/.face file is manually changed. Also, according to Section 2.6 at http://library.gnome.org/admin/gdm/stable/overview.html.en, I should be able to show a face image in the face browser by creating a file called <username> in the /usr/share/pixmaps/faces directory. This does not work. I am not sure if this is by design in Karmic or if it's a bug.
