(Get the code!)
@scholli Sorry. I must not be a "key person" aka Developer God, so my opinion doesn't count I guess. I tried Lucid at an early stage, waited, then downloaded the latest one like I said. I only use Linux every day, install it on people's machines for my friends and business customers, support and promote it (by the way, I said "Linux".. not JUST "Ubuntu".)
@jefspa "Have you been running Karmic?"
No. Karmic was bad for me. I had 9.04 on my laptop, upgraded, and then neither video or compiz would work, so I reformatted it, installed 9.10 without upgrading it, and whle that fixed the video, compiz still didn't work. I reformatted once again, put 9.04 back on it and everything works great. I left my desktop alone because I will only use LTS+1 on that, so it won't be upgraded until 10.04.1LTS or if things don't change, I'll just go straight Debian.
"My understanding that the GDM customization issue you refer to was introduced when moving to GDM 2.26 from 2.20 because of the refactoring of upstream GDM the original gdmconfig no longer works. Ubuntu skipped several upstream releases of GDM to avoid regressions due to the refactoring...but you can't wait forever and GDM was finally updated again in the run up to Karmic's released introducing the configuration regression."
So how then does one use GDM themes / login screens in 10.x?
