The manual says that the default =E2= =80=9Cgreeter=E2=80=9D (UI for logging in) can be themed using =E2=80=9Cgnome-settings-daemon=E2= =80=9D. I=E2=80=99d like something more fun, too, but it is low on the priorities list right now. :) > it does show the list of users, specifically those that have a proper > password set: > > > > Logging into GNOME works and screen locking works as well. \o/ > I didn=E2=80=99t find a way to select a session other than GNOME, though. > How=E2=80=99s that supposed to work? Like I said before, this is broken. Looking at screenshots on the Web, there=E2=80=99s supposed to be a little gear icon that shows up beside the = =E2=80=9CSign In=E2=80=9D button. We have a problem with GNOME right now where some butt= ons are invisible but still work (e.g., the calendar month changing buttons). The session switching button is not just invisible, though. Clicking where it should be doesn=E2=80=99t do anything. So far, I have no leads, but I haven=E2=80=99t spent much time on it yet. Thanks for testing! -- Tim
