Title:
  No GUI option to change login theme

Status in GDM: The Gnome Display Manager:
  New
Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in Baltix GNU/Linux:
  New

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) doesn't allow to change the login screen theme.
  The System / Administration / Login Screen tool doesn't allow to change the GDM's background (wallpaper) or theme.
  This can be seen as a regression from previous Ubuntu versions.
  Currently users have to run the following command to change the GDM 2.28 theme:
  gksudo -u gdm dbus-launch gnome-appearance-properties

  This is not user friendly at all.
