I tried using the Systems Settings/Login Screen tool for gdm setting but
changing messages there seems to have no effect.
Any ideas/tips?
Have you looked at /usr/share/gdm/themes/Bluecurve/Bluecurve.xml.in (or
its progeny /usr/share/gdm/themes/Bluecurve/Bluecurve.xml)?
You could probably call a small script from rc.local in which you use
sed to insert the current version or other info into the greeter.
Aside: is it documented somewhere which variables are allowed in this
xml file (similar to %h)?
This appears to be a them-specific configuration, so...
