I don't really understand the purpose of the new GDM theme here. The existing new GDM (the one in Karmic right now) is good and honest. It provides us with a smooth connection between GDM and desktop, looks as good as the desktop (which is good) and is optimal for accessibility. It also supports system tray applets like the one provided by gnome-power-manager. It proves that there is no reason whatsoever to create some artificial interface that follows a completely different style from the desktop the user is about to log in to.
Why drop that for a different GDM front-end that requires specific maintenance and creates an unnecessary break from the desktop's theme? I'd also like to recommend thoroughly against gradients unless something truly magical has occurred where we get completely rich colour palettes on all systems by default. I am picturing serious banding in a lot of cases. Feel free to prove me wrong, though.
