guys,
I'm stumped. How do you change the gdm theme in 11.3? gdmsetup is nowhere to be found, there is no System->Administration->LoginManager, there is just nothing? The simple greeter is installed under /usr/share/gdm/LoginUI and there are a few files under /etc/gdm, and looking through rpm -ql gdm discloses nothing to change a theme. Neither does gnome-look, or the gdm reference manual.
What gives? All I want to do is change the gdm greeter theme. What's the trick in 11.3?
Well here is the answer -- You can't. Your stuck with that slick looking default 'simple-greeter'. If you want a good looking login, you have 2 choices:
(1) downgrade gdm to a pre 2.2.8 version so all of the 'gdm themes' out there will work on your box; or
(2) ditch gdm and use kdm You know:
yast2->sysconfig/editor->Desktop->Display Manager->DISPLAYMANAGER
It's not a great situation for gdm right now...
