Package: gdm3 Version: 2.30.5-11 Severity: minor Dear Maintainer,
the graphical gdmsetup configuration tool should allow tweaking the options in /usr/share/gdm/greeter-config/* files. These include: /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename (through a file open dialog) /desktop/gnome/background/picture_options (through a list) /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_theme (through a list) /desktop/gnome/interface/icon_theme (through a list) /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/logo_icon_name (through a list) /desktop/gnome/peripherals/mouse/cursor_theme (through a list) /desktop/gnome/sound/event_sounds (through a checkbox) /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/banner_message_enable (through a checkbox) /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/banner_message_text (through a text box) /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_restart_buttons (through a checkbox) /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list (through a checkbox) /apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager (through a checkbox) /apps/gnome-power-manager/ui/icon_policy (through a checkbox) and possibly save the settings to a file like /usr/share/gdm/greeter- config/99z_gdmsetup (99z to be almost sure that it will be parsed *after* the other greeter config files). The tool could parse the other greeter config files on first run, in order to generate the default template for 99z_gdmsetup. For now these settings are only accessible by manually editing the greeter config files, which is not very user-friendly (at least for a *graphical* login screen...). Should I forward the request upstream?
