Bug#766328: Make gdm3 themable via update-alternatives

[Mike Gabriel]

Package: gdm3
Severity: wishlist
Version: 3.14.0-1
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-edu at lists.debian.org

Dear package maintainers,

the current (3.14.0-1) GDM3 version in Debian is not themable  
(anymore). (GNOMEv2 and GNOMEv3 used to be themable in Debian wheezy  
and back in time.

Theming at the moment we (Debian Edu team) do like this:

   o use dpkg-divert on /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/gnome-shell.css  
and move it out of the way
   o place our own gnome-shell.css file there instead
   o adapt gnome-shell.css and use another background and other stylish things.

We have to use dpkg-divert here. However, it would be more elegant  
(also for other gdm3 theme package provider) if gnome-shell.css was  
registered with the update-alternatives system on Debian.

Adding this to the gdm3 wishlist...

Thanks,
Mike
