Comment 6 for bug 36681

I have the same problem. The problem persists through to the current dapper beta release, I was hoping it would fix with updates but it hasn't. I am pretty new to linux but I try to figure out my own problems but this one has me stumped. Looking through documentation on GDM i should have a /etc/gdm/custom.conf file but I don't. I open up gdmsetup put in my password and It seems to work but then any changes I make, not just the greeter but I tried to disable the sound and make the greeting custom, are not saved. I tried before to change it manually but that also didn't work for some reason even though I told the file to save it reverted back to the default. The only way I got it to work was to delete the human theme and to change the folder of the theme I wanted to use to be called human, which is a really backwards messed up way of doing it any help would be appreciated.
