Description Jens Rabe 2006-05-09 10:21:45 UTC 
When a user logs in on multiple terminals (e.G. in a LTSP setting) with the same
username, the GNOME theme is garbled. Icons are missing and the skin isn't fully
applied.

One could solve this in a way that a directory with a random number is generated
when logging in (you could use the UNIX time) and everything which usually goes
into .gnome is stored there. On logging out, you could be warned that you are
logged in on multiple machines and you could be asked whether save the changes
you made. When answering "yes" there, the random directory contents would be
copied to their standard locations and the random directory would be deleted.

This is not a GDM bug, but a GNOME session issue.  You would have the same problem regardless of which display manager you use.
