Okay, after taking a quick look (2 minutes literally) at the current code there is no obvious place to change the chooser/greeter. However adding the autologin feature to the user/group admin tool should be easy: It seems you can set all the keys using DBus system bus. The path is /org/gnome/DisplayManager/Settings and the interface is org.gnome.DisplayManager.Settings. The only two intresting methods are GetValue and SetValue. The list of all possible keys can be found in common/gdm-settings-keys.h These are: [x] (1) Automatically log in user [ johndoe |↓] (2) if no user is selected for [ 30 ] (3) seconds. (1) daemon/TimedLoginEnabled (2) daemon/TimedLogin (3) daemon/TimedLoginDelay -- Patryk Zawadzki _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
