** Description changed: 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.
