GDM theme not showing on remote hosts + GCONF

[D Uhlman]

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,
