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.
Created attachment 101424 [details] Sample patch to allow Welcome banner to work 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....

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.

Still an issue in the current -devel tree (redhat-artwork-0.122-3). I've attached a rediff'ed patch against that version.
Setting severity to high since patch is available. In future we need a new keyword for this
This bug has been filed against FC2, and in the meantime, gdm has been rewritten, and doesn't support the Bluecurve theme anymore. Closing.
