Bug Description
Binary package hint: gdm
I've reported this problem in the past, and it seems to have never been fixed. The problem exists inside of the LIVE-CD version. I'm emphasizing that it occurs with the Live-CD.
At the moment, I'm using Ubuntu Gusty. I can't remember the exact version, so here is what the ISO says:
ubuntu-
Here's what I did:
1. Add a new desktop user
2. Login to the desktop user
3. Give the user a face avatar: Chess piece avatar
4. Logged out
5. Logged in with user "ubuntu"
6. Changed the GDM to "Happy GNOME with Browser"
7. Applied changes
8. Logged out
I looked at the GDM browser, and it still showed the MSN-like / marshmallow-type avatar for the new desktop user.
It shouldn't. For the new desktop user, I gave it the chess piece avatar. However, the avatar is not showing up.
The chess piece avatar should be showing.
I did this same thing for LIVE-CD Ubuntu 7.04.
Inside of Live-CD 7.04, the face avatar didn't show up.
I already filed a complaint on this long ago, and it seems no one took care of the problem.
The problem still exists.

When I say I filed a complaint long ago, I filed it for Ubuntu 7.04. In other words, the problem wasn't taken into consideration as something to fix for Ubuntu 7.10. Other than that, for 7.04 it did work WHEN installed it on the hard drive. But it did not work with the Live-CD. Also, I wasn't able to find the bug I reported long ago. It's still the same problem, though. I think the users/mods/admins brushed it off like fools. Stupid...
