If he's talking about the latest and (I think) the greatest gdm (2.2
unstable), there's now a nice /usr/bin/gdmconfig helper app (root).
No need to fiddle with some poorly documented config file. You can
now easily theme your gdm with the same indecent themes you use on
your (gnome) desktop. There's also gdmphotosetup to let you put your
face or your cat's as the clickable login icon.
dpkg -L gdm | grep bin
/usr/bin
/usr/bin/gdm
/usr/bin/gdmchooser
/usr/bin/gdmlogin
/usr/bin/gdmconfig
/usr/bin/gdmphotosetup
