I just enabled it tonight. Just to be sure does it still require the run
time changes in xfs and syslog ? I made them and everything seemed to work,
but wasn't sure since all the other changes are now in cvs if they are still
needed.
[OTish] I was talking to Brian Cameron (main GDM developer at the moment
from what I see in gnome/cvs) and he is adding some additional "themeing"
functionality to the picture greeter functionality. It would be nice to see
a picture greeter as the default login for local GDM connections on fedora.
I put the bug in his ear about how the current user list isn't themeable and
he contacted me a few days later to let me know some stuff was going into
CVS to help with that.
I also brought up the early-login functionality you guys are working on but
he didn't comment. I also put a bug in his ear about triggered animation in
gdm. Lots of this stuff might not make sense for XDMCP connections but
it'll go a long way in improving the professional look of Fedora/Redhat as a
mainstream desktop env.
btw, the early-login stuff is neat. Really looking forward to the day when
it pops up immediately after the hardware init and lets me login before all
the services have started :) You guys rock.

I hope so - I've been using it for awhile and its really nice.
I have noticed though that sometimes if you kill the X server (via
killall X), you can not log back in. Sometimes it works though and you
can log back in.
Logging in a console of course works, it's just gdm login that sometimes
doesn't.
I'll play with it some more and see if I can pin down what the issue is
so I can file a report.
