Re: [gdm-list] more bling, please

Andreas:

The clock label is defined in section 8.2.4 here:

  http://www.gnome.org/projects/gdm/docs/2.16/thememanual.html

I do think that the theme documention is a bit light and could
use a lot more information about how to actually construct a
theme using the described tags.  Any help making section 8
of the documentation more clear/usable would be much appreciated.

Anybody with experience making themes who would like to help with
this?

Brian
