[opensuse] How in the fsck do you change the gdm theme in 11.3?
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? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

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... -- David C.
