Version: Ubuntu 6.10 and 7.04 (Herd 2)
Kernel: 2.6.17-10-generic
Package: gdm 2.16.1-0ubuntu4 (Edgy)

I can reproduce this on Feisty *and* on Edgy, x86.

The application called by Gnome Control Panel for Login Window
preferences is gdmsetup .

Under Edgy I get this when I try to invoke gdmsetup from command line:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo gdmsetup

  Command failed 5 times, aborting.
Could not access GDM configuration file.

Can you tell me if you are using a Feisty Herd 2 recently updated system
? Can you post the result of invoking gdmsetup from the commandline on
your system ?
