<div><div>unified and attractive look and feel for xubuntu. If the gdm size is still a problem, I would rather recommend reducing its dimensions to 1024x678. This would significantly
reduce its size as well.</div> <div>I gonna do a smaller version of it and upload it to the usual place.

What I was thinking, and where I got the idea of using the same background is this: we have a good looking wallpaper in 240Kb. Why does another background need to be 900Kb to be good looking?
<br>Let's forget about gdm and xfdesktop. To the user it is an image on the screen, it should not matter if one is used at login the other in the rest.<br>So I was thinking what if we just had a login dialog over the wallpaper and after you typed it in the dialog disappears and you're on the desktop already?
</div></blockquote><div><br>I'm not sure if I understand what you're saying, but it seems to me as a problem, as I have four different accounts on my computer with four different backgrounds, so there would be none to already load...
