All a person needs to do is subscribe to gnome bugzilla. There is information on the gdm issue. I opened a wish list on it and they have keep me informed every day. They are working on this problem. I subscribed to gnome bug mailing list and and today I have 314 emails in my inbox. It will get better. I still use 9.04 as well as 9.10.

Status in GDM: The Gnome Display Manager: New Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in gdm in Ubuntu Karmic: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: gdm In Karmic the Login Window Preferences option from the GNOME System -> Preferences menu is missing. I'm no longer able to configure gdm graphically. Something I was able to do until recently and in Jaunty. ------------ The new gdm : - discussion have started during the hardy uds 1.5 year ago - the new gdm has been accepted upstream by GNOME and used for over a year in several other distributions - the ubuntu team decided to wait on the change because of the known issues - the new version was available since jaunty in the ubuntu-desktop ppa and call for testing have been made - the change has been decided this cycle because karmic had technologies changes in view of the lts coming next cycle, it's better to use recent and maintainer codebases there - the canonical desktop team spent time this cycle writing a gdmsetup tool and fixing several issues in the new gdm version It's not perfect yet but is expected to be improved. Thanks for your patience! ------------- The changes are due to an upstream [Gnome] update , which was blocked in Ubuntu for 3 cycles . Any further discussions regarding lack of features can be discussed > https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=587750 or users can open new bugs regarding the missing features. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~sabily.team Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~sabily.team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
