Customizing login screen for LTSP (LDM)

[Ville Pöntinen]

Hi!


I found folders from /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/share/ldm/themes/. One of them
is named "edubuntu" and it seems to be in use. (There is link to
/etc/alternatives/ldm-theme which is link to
/usr/share/ldm/themes/edubuntu.)

In /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/share/ldm/themes/edubuntu I found png-images
that are in use on the ldm-screen and file called greeter-gtkrc. Where
can the language be customized or translated? I read greeter-gtkrc but
didn't see anything about language customization or selection...

I would translate the few phrases in ldm to Finnish.

But now that I've found this I'll put some students to customize the
graphics too, so thanks anyway!
