Ted,
Thanks Ted, you are correct. Also your advice helped me determine that
there is a setting in gdmconf as follows, gdm-setup added an entry:
RemoteGreeter=/usr/bin/gdmgreeter
that settting uses the themed gdm the default is to use gdmlogin i.e.
RemoteGreeter=/usr/bin/gdmlogin
gdmsetup causes changes to happen instantly, is it running gdm-restart
or similiar or is the gdm.conf entry linked to a gconf key?
This has presented me with a problem finding the actual gconf keys if
they exist. Is there a way to find them without tweezing through the gdm
source? I have grepped through the gconf files but with no luck. Nor can
I figure out where in the hierarchy they might have stuck it.
Better yet is there a general way to find gconf keys and where they
might be stuck in the hierarchy?
Sincerely,
