Package: gdm3
Version: 3.0.4-2
Severity: minor
/etc/gdm3/greeter.gsettings comes with a gtk-theme line commented out but using
it doesn't work and gives an error message at boot:
Starting GNOME Display Manager: gdm3No such key `gtk-theme' in schema
`org.gnome.desktop.background' as specified in override file
`/tmp/gdm-Z27HEQ/yy_debian.gschema.override'; ignoring override for this key.
Using the old approach (gdm3 2.30) of trying to set the gtk-theme in
/etc/gdm3/greeter.gconf-defaults doesn't have any effect on version 3.0
