gdm.conf-custom ignored

[andreimpopescu@gmail.com (Andrei Popescu)]

Hello list,

I am using gdm 2.16.1-1 (unstable)

I found this in /usr/share/gdm/defaults.conf

# GDM Configuration file.
#
# This file should not be updated by hand.  Since GDM 2.13.0.4,
# configuration choices in the /etc/gdm/gdm.conf file will
# override the default values specified in this file (installation
# locations of the configuration files may vary for different distros).
# This defaults.conf file may be overwritten on upgrade, so to ensure
# that your configuration choices are not lost, please make sure that
# your changes are made only the the custom.conf file.
#
# If you were using an older version of GDM, your system may have the
# the older gdm.conf configuration file on the system.  If so, then this
# file is used instead of the custom.conf file for backwards support.
# If you make changes to the custom.conf file and they seem to not be
# taking effect, this is likely the problem.  Consider migrating your
# configuration to the new custom.conf file and removing the gdm.conf
# file.
#
# You can use the gdmsetup program to graphically edit the gdm.conf-custom
# file.  Note that gdmsetup does not support every option in this file, just
# the most common ones that users want to change.# GDM Configuration file.

I tried using gdm.conf-custom and also custom.conf (and removing
gdm.conf), but both are ignored. Besides, gdmsetup is changing gdm.conf
and not gdm.conf-custom

Am I missing something?

Thanks for reading,
Andrei
