No, not that I know of. It looks like a bug (the Categories in the desktop file look wrong). Matthias filed a bug today here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=178461 > A more relevant suggestion though... would it be possible to pull info > from "About Me" to display owner information on the gdm screen.

It's an interesting idea, although it may have privacy issues. Can you file an upstream bug report (http://bugzilla.gnome.org) requesting the feature? One thing you can do, that may (or may not) be good enough for your needs is run a program in the /etc/X11/gdm/Init/Default (or /etc/X11/gdm/Init/:0) script. This program will get run when the login screen loads up. You could display a message box with the relevant information, e.g., zenity --info --text="This machine belongs to <b><big>$(getent passwd 500 | awk -F: '{print $5}')</big></b>. Unauthorized access is prohibited" or you could display an image of the person who owns the laptop, maybe. --Ray Strode -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
