Well, that worked, but it was a bit scary getting there! It required that I negotiate *firmly* with aptitude regarding the limits of acceptable behavior (see attached log). At first aptitude wanted to remove all of gnome. I got it down to a much smaller subset... log Description: Binary data Rick

All that time I thought gdm have to be useful, not "nice" only. New full of stars Debian symbol in a right bottom corner of logon screen is exatctly in place there time counter counts. Is this something they called a "bug" or something? My screen resolution is 1366x768, if it matters. [...] > And, suppose I wanted to fall back to the old gdm. What do I have to do to > get that? Dear Debian developers, if you please to return back a good old logon screen by yourself in a next update? And let us know if there is a new theme for logon screen. Kinda "if you want to try it, make a wish, if you want to kill it, make unwish".

You can try with the tips provided by users (Google search): [HOWTO] Change GDM 3 Theme and Wallpaper http://www.khattam.info/howto-change-gdm-3-theme-and-wallpaper-2010-11-14.html I have not tested, not sure if that works :-? > And, suppose I wanted to fall back to the old gdm.

gdm3 is nice and all, but...
gdm3 is nice, but... I'd like to be able to configure things the way I used to be able to do with gdm. E.g. the background with stars and space ships is interesting, but I like to have different login backgrounds for each of my machines (helps me to remember what I'm doing). How do I do that kind of configuration? And, suppose I wanted to fall back to the old gdm. What do I have to do to get that? Thanks!
