Thanks John and Fred. I'll go to Gnome for GDM fix.
As this is not MDK related and will not be fixed by MDK (or gdm-themes creator),
closing as REMIND if that's okay.(there should be a FIXUPSTREAM Category for
resolution...)

description:
1) long strings are not wrapped and the user name box grows to the length of the
string which puts the "Username" part off of the screen.
Also, I could not login. Since I could not see what was being entered I do not
really know what was happening.
2) the string substitution values %s, %r, %m, %h, \n, etc. are not handled at
all. Instead they are printed/displayed literally on the screen. GDM normally
displays the string with substitutions correctly.
example "Welcome string" to use:
Welcome to %s!\n\nMandrakeLinux Version %r\n with \nmultiple Intel %m CPUs\n and
\nLotsofMB SDRAM\n for \n%h.\n\n
This is related to the gdm bug that makes a user click twice to config GDM while
at the login screen. The new theme "Enterprise" prevents the ability to do that
- either click twice or enter the gdm configurator. User just gets beeps.
Because the user(as root) cannot edit the theme and login, the user is forced to
a console or to perform a reboot.
I have not tested all the new gdm-themes but since the setup is similar, expect
all of them to do the same.
Those are some very nice backgrounds! and, I like the setup too so please fix
this and the gdm 'click-twice' bug.
