Comment 1 Marcos Miranda 2004-04-14 12:15:57 EDT

At 9:08am Wednesday April 14, 2004, I did a force re-install of the
gdm-2.4.4.5-1.2 packages, including the source.
rpm -i --force --nosignature <packagename>

I logged out, GDM screen went to the circles one.
I changed it to a different one (Glass theme, I downloaded.)
Works!
Did a complete shutdown and reboot.
GDM Glass Theme returned without error.

there may have been a problem with your original install, but in any
case this is not an issue anymore.
