gdmconfig crash when changing graphical theme
Last modified: 2002-06-30 19:28:31 UTC
- Launch gdmconfig - Change in "general" for local greeter from "standard greeter" to "graphical greeter" - Go to "Graphical Greeter" choose "Happy GNOME" - GDM kills itself
I'm unable to replicate this crash with the latest snapshot I have installed (gdm2-2.4.0.0.0.200206150522-0.snap.ximian.1), which is from Saturday. Although the theme isn't set to happygnome, GDM doesn't crash. Can you possibly update and try this again to see if it's been fixed for you?
Sorry the crash is for gdmconfig not gdm....but I loose some of my windows on my desktop with this bug. For the compilation of gdm I've used option for RedHat Linux computer as written in the README file. If I launch it from a terminal instead of the menu I've got this...

Basically I think gdmconfig is restarting gdm and hence the session when changing themes. Not sure, though.
I have exact the same problem. This makes gdmconfig unuseable because the applied changes don't take effect.
Could that related to this bug? http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86264
Yup, this should be the same bug. Thanks for tracking this down. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 85264 ***
In the Heath Harrelson comments this should be 86264 instead of 85264
Yeah, slip of the keyboard. My fault. Thanks for noticing. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 86264 ***
