Make sure the gtkrc file is readable by GDM. I think it runs as root, but I could be mistaken. If there's something wrong reading the file, GDM uses the default theme. Right now I've got it set to Marble3D, and it works fine. David Barclay Harris, Clan Barclay Aut agere, aut mori. (Either action, or death.)

Re: GDM background image
There are a number of ways to do it. I've never done it on Debian as since I switched over I've always used a black background with a nice image in GDM chooser. However on other distro's I used xv, xbanner and I think Electric Eyes at different times. I'm sure one or the other of these is available under Debian and they have have inroot options which will do what you want. Redhat used xrsi (or something similar) which was the nicest I'd used. Give one of the above a whirl and drop me a line if you have a prob. On Tue, 17 Oct 2000 08:17:49 Jeff Hornsberger wrote: Hi, I'm looking for a way to set the background image for gdm.
