Description of problem: With the other gdm themes I can set to Welcome text to anything I want to so that I can unquely identify the system and particular software running. For example, I could change it (with gdmsetup) to: Welcome to FC2-T2 on %n This would be usefiul in my situation since I run multiple hardware systems and with multiple bootable OS on them. When presented with the gdm login screen, it is not always obvious what OS the system is running. I would also like to continue running the Bluecurve theme. The Bluecurve them does specify the system already but not is not enough in my case. Yes, I can hack the Blucurve xml to add somthing but I would prefer not to do that. Just using the text from Welcome is not really useful either since it would look ugly just stuck onto the Bluecurve image. Well, this is a requirement and not a solution. I will leave the solution up to you. As with the Fedora goal of using upstream packages asis, I would like to use the Fedora Core (or RHEL) upstream stuff as is but tailorable to my situation without actally modifying the code. It would be satisfactory to me to have an additional theme ("Bluecurve with Welcome") which would not be the default. This theme could replace what you now put the system name with whatever the Welcome text is" Then whe I selected this "Bluecurve with Welcome" theme I would know to replace the Welcome text with something like "FC2-t2 on %n"
