In F8 the GDM setup was available to setup which users should show up in GDM and there was possible to assign faces instead those "Unknown" persons. How to do this in F9s' GDM?
I put .faces icons to users home, but this does not show in GDM, and I did not found a way how to setup any GDM parameters (from GUI).
Thanks for any hint

This is nice, so all users on the machine can have only ONE face right? This is not what I mean. In GDM every user has to be able to assign his face/icon... like in F8/Gnome 2.20.

~/.face still works, it just needs to have the right permissions (as it always was). You can also use the "About Me" capplet to select it.

This I did. The face is used in user switching applet, shown in About Me and screensave but not in GDM. GDM really needs the user home directory to have --x for others which is not default.
BTW: the correct directory for faces should be /usr/share/pixmap/faces probably, I was not aware of that GDM should look for image of the same name. I'll try that later.
As nobody noticed the first question, is there any replacement for gdmsetup?

None at present that I'm aware of.
