Re: [gdm-list] Face Browser weirdness in 2.8.0.5

Brandon:

You got to help me out more.  Are you using gdmlogin or gdmgreeter?
Does setting GtkRC to a GTK+ Theme that you like make it look better? 
If using gdmgreeter you can try the:

   <greeter gtk-theme="themename">

syntax (GDM 2.14.0 and later only)

Try using a theme with a default font size you like.  Changint the
default Xserver fontsize to something bigger would probably also make
the window bigger.

You could also put a bigger logo image in the window.

Note you can set "DOING_GDM_DEVELOPMENT=1" and run the /usr/lib/gdmlogin
and /usr/lib/gdmgreeter program from your session to see how it looks
without having to logout/login/etc. for testing.
