(tested on fully updated > F9) The lock dialog defaults to the "plain" version for usability reasons -- that's something that's been decided upstream by GNOME and we probably won't be changing it any time soon. But *not* making a prettier dialog just because it's not the default seems very silly to me. After all, I work on maintaining packages that aren't installed by default. If everyone felt that doing something not installed by default was not worth the effort, it would be a pretty lame distro! We even include a blurb in our release notes on how to make the pretty lock dialog show up: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Beats/Desktop Anyone who's already followed that guidance will see a pretty themed lock dialog *by default*. What would *really* suck is for new users to read the Release Notes, follow the instructions, and then see an old F8 lock dialog when they tried it out. -- Paul W.
