GDM theme selection in gdmsetup uses old preview images for themes

[Dylan McCall]

Binary package hint: ubuntu-gdm-themes

The Login Window administration capplet (gdmsetup) has a section to select local and remote GDM themes. The preview images for the themes appear to be based on the older GDM theme as opposed to the new one.

New images need to be created to reflect the current appearance of Ubuntu's GDM themes. At present, a user may be confused in trying to, for example, select the default theme.

If I could figure out how to make the gdmthemetester come up at a lower resolution I would make a screenshot...anyone know how to do that?

The XNESTSIZE environment variable should do it.

Actually it uses Xephyr now (not sure why exactly) and it was this variable which I could not figure out. I worked around this and made a screenshot but because it is so late in the RC I will wait with this change until an update.

Since this bug is very old and GDM is no longer part of standard Ubuntu, let's close it. No fix is coming for a package that we don't use.
