Comment 1 Havoc Pennington 2002-02-27 16:00:08 UTC

What if you restart the X server? (Just hit Ctrl-Alt-Backspace on the gdm screen)

The logo normally disappears if you switch to a virtual console, unless we fixed
that in 7.2, which is possible, I forget.

Comment 2 John Dalbec 2002-03-01 22:04:09 UTC

Sorry for the delay.  I wanted to double-check on a machine without the VMware tools installed.  I installed the X 4.1 upgrade and (since these machines are servers, 
rebooting them is awkward) service xfs stop; service xfs start; ps fx; kill <parent gdm process> (which is immediately restarted by init).  The shadow man logo and 
"redhat" in large letters are missing from the background.  I tried <Ctrl>-<Alt>-<Backspace> but no luck.  How does the logo (and "redhat") get there?  Maybe I can 
strace the appropriate process.

Comment 3 Havoc Pennington 2002-03-01 22:32:09 UTC

The logo comes from "xsri" which is run by gdm, I believe. See "gdmconfig" on
the background tab there's a place to configure the xsri command.

We used to run xsri out of the X scripts (package xinitrc) but I don't think
that was true for 7.2

Comment 4 John Dalbec 2002-03-04 15:33:16 UTC

I guess I could mark this CURRENTRELEASE but I don't think an update for 7.1 should break 7.1 behavior.
Changing component to xinitrc.

Comment 5 John Dalbec 2002-03-04 15:39:58 UTC

The xinitrc-3.20-1 RPM (listed as an update for RH 7.1) assumes the RH 7.2 versions of gdm and xsri.

Comment 6 Mike A. Harris 2002-05-21 08:08:34 UTC

I consider this issue quite trivial, and not worthy of spending time on
considering much more pressing bugs.
