Well, it makes sense because the login manager is in charge of setting up some basic pre-environmental values, like keyboard layout or mouse options. > but apparently the solution is to use gconf-editor to disable it in > gdm3.

Anyway, you should run "gconfig-editor" from your current user and in the event you can't locate the key, you can search for "simple-greeter" (no "simple-greeting"). > (I should note that gdm actually runs as root on my system -- so I'm not > sure what the Debian-gdm user is actually for?) AFAIK, there's no need to play with that. > My question, of course, is "what am I missing"? What do I need to do to > make gdm3 configuration visible in gconf-editor? You can also try using the command line, e.g.,: First, to retrieve the current value: gconftool-2 -g /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/settings-manager-plugins/a11y-keyboard/active And then you can disable with: gconftool-2 -s -t bool /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/settings-manager-plugins/a11y-keyboard/active false THT.
