Description Valdis Kletnieks 2004-06-25 17:19:55 UTC
Description of problem:
The Bluecurve.xml file lacks a definition for the Welcome banner
set in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf, so it isn't displayed.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
redhat-artwork-0.97-2

How reproducible:
Try to set a Welcome banner

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select Bluecurve theme in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf
2. Set a 'Welcome=This wont be displayed' in that file.
3. Get to the gdm login screen, and see that it isn't displayed.
  
Actual results:
The Welcome banner isn't displayed

Expected results:
A displayed banner.

Additional info:
This is a major problem for those sites which use the banner to
display AUP info or other (possibly legally mandated) warnings.

Patch attached.

If anybody has a better way to deal with the 'normal color= font=' besides
hard-coding it, feel free to improve it.  I have *no* clue where the
"stock type='welcome-label/'" is supposed to get its defaults from....

To quote Homer Simpson: "D'Oh".  I forgot I had opened 123214. ;)

Comment 5 Matthew Miller 2005-04-26 15:45:40 UTC
Fedora Core 2 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for
security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please
reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a
security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or
in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match.

Comment 7 Valdis Kletnieks 2005-04-26 16:28:59 UTC
Still an issue in the current -devel tree (redhat-artwork-0.122-3).  I've
attached a rediff'ed patch against that version.

Comment 8 Rahul Sundaram 2005-08-13 00:15:23 UTC
Setting severity to high since patch is available. In future we need a new
keyword for this

Comment 9 Matthias Clasen 2008-03-28 05:11:25 UTC
This bug has been filed against FC2, and in the meantime, gdm has been
rewritten, and doesn't support the Bluecurve theme anymore. Closing.
