Comment 27 for bug 395299

I think the new GDM is more accessible and perhaps better at dealing with keyboard layouts and different locales, but a simple GUI tool as Dean Loros described should be implemented.

Now, the following is strictly wishlist, because I develop artwork for GNOME/Ubuntu, so it affects me and possibly other users:
The simple GUI should let you choose icon and GTK themes, as well as the background. If possible, something like installable metatheme files that simply specify the names of background/icon/gtk to be used would encourage the community to continue creating GDM themes as we've normally done until now.
