Description Elton Woo 2003-08-16 19:20:41 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030703

Description of problem:
When you login, and select "Gnome" the dialog says:
You have chosen Gnome ..... do you want this to be your default ...
the default ... is Default".
Well, *isn't* GOME the default desktop for the RH distro?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gdm-2.4.1.3-8

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select "Gnome" instead of Default from the gdm
2. Read the dialog
3.
    

Expected Results:  Dialog should say something like "this IS the default, you
will now
login to the Gnome desktop".

Additional info:

IMVHO, while this is not a serious problem, it detracts from the 
professional image of the RH distro, by displaying an "illogical"
message.

This message is better in the current beta version.
