Description Mauro Sciaccaluga 2002-08-07 16:09:00 UTC

I noticed yet from early versions of gdm that when i try to change the theme
supplying the root password in the gdm configuration tool it doesnt change the
theme, i saw there should be two themes, but i cannot use the other one. Can u
check if its just a problem of mine?

thanks

known error, its fixed and working in the latest( masked ) version.. feel free
to test this so that upgrades go smooth.. all should be ready for prime any
second now.

Yes, I meant the latest masked version, it was a known bug that the two versions
before it had broken graphics.  upstream bug with broken themes. :/

now it works... i had to add another theme so it allowed me to use other themes. i dunno why! thanks anyway!

the reason it works is that we updated the gdm version again :)

Comment 7 Mauro Sciaccaluga 2002-08-17 10:04:18 UTC

spider: nope! cos first I tried your updated version without my workaround! and
i didnt work for me! Then after I added another theme to the 2 default themes
and now i can change!
