Problem Installing GDM themes

[R S Gill]

The way that I did it was to navigate to Computer|System 
Configuration|Login Screen Setup.

There I selected the Graphical Greeter tab and clicked on Install New Theme.

I then broswed to the compressed file that contained the theme I wanted 
to install and clicked Install.

The new theme then showed up in the list of available themes.

I hope this helps

Gill
