Bug#350940: gdm: Use a single, Debian-branded theme

[Josselin Mouette]

Package: gdm
Version: 2.8.0.6-2
Severity: wishlist

Since the upgrade to GDM 2.8, the theme is chosen randomly at each 
login. While this is a cool-looking feature, it is also quite confusing 
for the user. GDM is the first thing the user sees after installing or 
booting, and as such it should be simple and consistent.

As I understand that you don't want to make gdm depend on gdm-themes, I 
have made up a theme that is small enough to be included directly in the 
gdm package, with a look and feel similar to that of the default splash 
and theme of GNOME 2.12 in Debian. You can find it at:
http://malsain.org/~joss/swirl.tar.gz
It uses a background from desktop-base, but as it is in SVG format it 
can also be included directly if you don't want to depend on 
desktop-base.
