Thanks for all the info so far... al though it really puts me off ubuntu if it is true.<br>Considering that we want company's and other commercial users to start installing Ubuntu, making a move to a new system wich cannot be branded or adapted like the original GDM a bad one.<br>
Company's always want they're own logo's and wallpapers to be shown on they're computer and if this cannot be done with ubuntu than i fear they will not consider using it anymore.<br><br>In my eye's the ability to change the theming and appearance of linux is one of its strong points and a clear advantage over Windows... that said i am really worried about this development of GDM2.<br>
I would have expected more option to be added instead of removing all option all together....<br><br>I sutainly can't sell this to my supervisor without branding... so i will have to look for another distro to use at this school.<br>
<br>Thanks though for clearing this up and saving me some time and a lot of headaches trying to figure this out :-)<br><br>Dennis Beekman<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Sep 29, 2009 at 8:39 AM, ÃÍãÏ ÇáãÍãæÏí <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:aelmahmoudy@users.sourceforge.net">aelmahmoudy@users.sourceforge.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>

The way Ubuntu sets the GDM theme in postinst makes branding not<br>
possible.<br>
