I am using several remote hosts connecting to X over XDMCP to gdm. I have had this set up many time before with various ditros and what not without this problem, however this time I am using redhat 8. The problem is that on local displays the GDM greeter comes up with the proper Bluecurve theme and all is well, however on remote systems I.E. (when using "X - query xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx") the greeter appears in its plain "default" state. I have been through hoards of docs on gdm, xdm, so on and I can't seem to find where the problem is. Does anyone have a sure fire method for finding it? I have set all desktops to use the same Xsetup and Xresources files and on and on and on. I suppose I could have made a subtle error in one of them though. Where are the settings for this circumstance supposed to live? Sincerely, David Uhlman CTO 50km Inc. office(877-571-7679)
