Bug Description

If you choose and install a login window (I mean a different login mask / design) first time, he often switch from the new selected to "Circles GNOME" (the blue one with a sunflower and Face Browser) and Happy-Gnome. He also activate the option Theme: Random selected.

This Bug appears only (and not always!) if you click on "Close" and doesn't appear while activating or installing the new login mask. It would be fine if some people can try to install a new GDM login mask (e.g. from www.gnome-look.org) and can confirm this bug.

Workaround:
1) Download a GDM login mask (e.g. www.gnome-look.org)
2) Open System -> Configuration (?) -> Login window
3) Click on the "Local" tab -> then click "Add" and choose the GDM mask you've downloaded before
4) Activate it and then click on "Close" and logout.

If the wrong GDM mask appears, open the login window configuration GUI again and change the option "Random from selected" to "Selected only"
and
- choose the right login mask. Now it works fine.
