[EMAIL PROTECTED] changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |RESOLVED Resolution| |REMIND ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-23-09 22:49 ------- 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...) -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: RESOLVED creation_date: 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.
