Sorry -- we got our signals crossed.  I was still talking about the face 
browser, which AFAIK isn't supported in gdmgreeter.  And when I said 
'300-pixel window,' I meant the smaller space inside the GDM window in 
which the user icons or faces appear.  It doesn't vary in size with 
different themes, and adding or removing the logo doesn't affect it 
either.

Perhaps I should try poking around with some more recent development 
versions, since it looks like there's a lot going on, and rightly so - the 
login screen is the 'public face' of desktop Linux.

Set an environment variable, you mean? I will poke around with that.

Thanks for working on this and for your prompt replies.
