Comment 10 for bug 560130

Ingo, many thanks for the workaround, exactly what I needed. But it took me a lot of searching to find this advice and there must be many users who give up. I'm using version 0.5.3, but I see in #3 above another release was expected soon -- that was 5 months ago, am I missing the latest version?

Is something like
if not os.path.exists(XSPLASH_IMAGE_LOCATION): os.makedirs(XSPLASH_IMAGE_LOCATION)
needed before line 191 in gdm2gconf.py?

Growlf: Thanks for a /very/ nice app, it would be great to see this in Ubuntu by default, not a special install. Any way to get that to happen?
