Hello GDM folks-- I'd like to offer the attached patch for gdmgreeter. I'm afraid this is against GDM 2.4.4.7, since I don't have GNOME 2.6. It has 3 changes: *Added a new kind of user list, which is a dropdown combo box that appears in place of the user-pw-entry GtkEntry whenever the username selection is active. To enable this, use XML similar to the following: <item type="entry" id="user-pw-entry" dropdown="fullname"> where the legal choices for dropdown are "none", "fullname", "login", or "both". When the dropdown is enabled, the user will be able to pick their name from a GtkCombo instead of typing. It's not recommended for a theme to use both the dropdown form of user-pw-entry at the same time as using the existing userlist. *Added a new widget type, a custom combo list. Use XML similar to the following: <item type="combo" id="custom-combo"> <pos anchor="nw" x="10%" width="80%" height="24"/> <normal color="#0000FF" font="Utopia 12"/> <listitem id="One"><text>Item One</text></listitem> <listitem id="Two"><text>Item Two</text></listitem> <listitem id="Three"><text>Item Three</text></listitem> <listitem id="Four"><text>Item Four</text></listitem> <listitem id="Five"><text>Item Five</text></listitem> </item> *Re-worked the popup menu (accessible via F10 from the user-pw-entry widget). Same behavior from the user's perspective, but the code is a little cleaner.
