What does everybody think of the new greeter?
Personally, I have issues with it:
- suspend option remains, even after disabling suspend globally via
gconf-editor (bug already reported, and apparently patch has already been committed upstream)
In the meantime, you already can make the suspend button go away (together with the restart and shutdown buttons). See disable_restart_buttons on http://live.gnome.org/GDM/2.22/Configuration
- I can't seem to configure my "face" image. Putting a ".face" graphic
in my home directory doesn't work, nor does configuring image with System->Preferences->Personal->About Me.
What permissions do you have on your home directory ?
- Where the hell are the login screen settings? This is a serious
oversight. I had thought the greeter configuration was supposed to be EASIER than previous releases (I can't remember where I read that, but for some reason I was expecting it).
What specific settings do you need ? The old gdmsetup exposed every arcane configuration detail, which is not something we want to go back to.
