[OTish] I was talking to Brian Cameron (main GDM developer at the moment from what I see in gnome/cvs) and he is adding some additional "themeing" functionality to the picture greeter functionality. It would be nice to see a picture greeter as the default login for local GDM connections on fedora. I put the bug in his ear about how the current user list isn't themeable and he contacted me a few days later to let me know some stuff was going into CVS to help with that.
I also brought up the early-login functionality you guys are working on but he didn't comment. I also put a bug in his ear about triggered animation in gdm. Lots of this stuff might not make sense for XDMCP connections but it'll go a long way in improving the professional look of Fedora/Redhat as a mainstream desktop env.
btw, the early-login stuff is neat. Really looking forward to the day when it pops up immediately after the hardware init and lets me login before all the services have started :) You guys rock.

Last question : Will this early-login be considered to become the default for FC4?
I hope so - I've been using it for awhile and its really nice. I have noticed though that sometimes if you kill the X server (via killall X), you can not log back in. Sometimes it works though and you can log back in.
Logging in a console of course works, it's just gdm login that sometimes doesn't.
I'll play with it some more and see if I can pin down what the issue is so I can file a report.
