Package: gdm3
Version: 3.0.4-4
Followup-For: Bug #637300

Hi Matthijs, I reported this bug back in August.
Now gdm3 has both greeter.gsettings and greeter.gconf.defaults
I think gdm3 has some stuff hardcoded, like fonts, GTK theme and cursor theme.
I've been using KDE recently (just booted again to my Xfce setup with gdm3) but
last time I tried changing the GTK theme for something other than Adwaita it fell
back to the Raleigh theme (and yes, the themes I tried were GTK3 themes).
For instance, I have DMZ-White set for cursor theme and that 'busy' cursor at gdm3
start is white but the arrow becomes black.
I've tried changing settings both in greeter.gsettings and greeter.gconf.defaults
just to make sure.
I don't know how gdm 3.2 is up to in this field so I take it that this Debian
version is like a transition phase.
