I totally agree that gdmsetup was more intuitive. Just pointing out that it's still possible. Can we close the bug or is there still something wrong? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Now, this is what I call "user friendly" ;-)

Yeah, upstream has a bug about missing gdmsetup: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=553250

How do I achieve the same for the clock applet ?

You can't, unfortunately. It's not the same clock, and it's not configurable.

I would rather than close, modify this to "Enhancement" requesting that the settings of the first user established are used as default. I think that's what the average user coming from Windows is likely to expect.

Actually, I'd disagree -- I wouldn't want this, for example.

Also I venture to suggest, that this is made an option in the context menu of the Background, as this is where the average GUI user will expect it. Few people know about the gconf-editor much less what it's good for.

Yep. This is http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=536531 I'm going to close the bug as UPSTREAM for http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=536531. In general, you can directly file this kind of bugs upstream (just check they're not already reported ;-)) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I guess you are "the average user coming from Windows", aren't you ;-)

Heh. I'd argue the average user coming from Windows doesn't care about the background of the login screen ;-) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
