Where is the GDM setup gone?

Hi,
I've just upgraded my system to Gnome 2.28 and basically it runs just fine. During the upgrade process pacman told me that the new GDM config file /etc/gdm/custom.conf is saved as /etc/gdm/custom.conf.pacnew. As I haven't written anything critical in there, I decided to replace the new (blank) one with the old one and start configuring it from scratch.
With my old installation I have done it with some Gnome application, but I can't find it anymore . It seems that the shortcut has been deleted , although I have enabled all entries using Alacarte .
Does anyone of you know how I can enter this application again in order to change the theme of GDM? Is it normal that the shortcut disappears, or is this kind of a bug? What can I do about it?
Best regards
johnpatcher

Ok, actually I was a little bit too fast . I have recreated my custom.conf, haven#t mentioned that it doesn't work at all .
For now Gnome 2.28 is a really big step backwards, I'm still about "repairing" my system, as a whole lot of stuff doesn't work as it did before .
Regarding this problem I think that the problem is related to [url=http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/16601?opened=5798&type[0]=&sev[0]=&due[0]=&cat[0]=&status[0]=open&percent[0]=&reported[0]=]this[/url], as gksu seems to be buggy with the new kernel 2.6.31 .
Whenever I try to run the command mentioned above I encounter the following error:
[root@vostro ~]# gksudo -u gdm dbus-launch gnome-appereance-properties
Error copying '/tmp/libgksu-9BwaVU/.Xauthority' to '/tmp/libgksu-GJyAFt': No such file or directory
Whats the cause of it? Has anyone else experienced this? What can I do in order to solve the issue?

  • Where has the preview panel gone is Bridge CS5?

    Today when I opened up Bridge, the preview panel on the right hand side has disappeared. It shows as being selected when I go to the Window Menu but it isn't there. The scroll bar is also missing so I can't view all of the thumbnails. Does anyone have any ideas about why this has happened and how I can return it to it's normal format? Thanks, Michelle.

    Fantastic. Thank you, much appreciated

  • Where has the visualizer button gone?

    where has the visualizer button gone in the bottom right corner?
    bit of a pain as i used it quite often

    iTunes 7 is pretty smart overall, nevertheless I have a few serious gripes with the interface. Firstly the little 'snowflake' icon on the bottom right that switches on the visuals has been replaced by the browse and burn icons. Was there a problem with the previous layout? My wife and I use that button everytime we turn on the visuals on our Mac Mini sound system in the living room. It was super convenient because you could move in a single mouse sweep from selecting a playlist to switching on visuals. With iTunes 7 you have to either select from the pop-down menu or switch to the keyboard and press cmd+T. It might not seem such a big deal to some but it's definitely a backwards step, no matter how small.
    The album art selector/display is very cool and niftily programmed however I'll never use it. The reason? Because if you fill it with album artwork, all those images are displayed over the visualiser at the start of each tune, which I HATE. I don't want sleeve designs ruining the beauty of G-Force which I paid good money to see. It's bad enough having the track info show when I already know what's playing! iTunes 7 is simply not configurable enough if you ask me, and hey, you shouldn't have to start configuring Fkeys to make up for the fundemental lack of choice in the program preferences.
    I have a pal who loves the gapless playback in the new iTunes 7 because it's great for mix cds. Well maybe that's the best playback feature of iTunes 7 but I'm afraid it doesn't make up for the loss of the visualiser button, so there!

  • Where is the network setup stored?

    Hi all
    My time capsule died and I bot a airport extreme. The setup went automaticly but I lost my old parameters.
    Where are the network prefs stored? I would like to go back with time-machine and to see my old network-setup.
    Thanks in advance

    Yes my computer backups automaticly - thanks god for time-machine ,-)
    I have a static IP (as well as dynamic as it seems) and a server behind a firewall-setup. Thats why I would like to check back my old setup and prefs. But since Airport Express did everything automaticly - they are gone...

  • Where is the "Page Setup" in PhotoShop CC?

    I just use the new PhotoShop CC recently, and I have trouble finding the "Page Setup" thing, where I can setup my printer page size before. It used to be on top of "Print", but I cant find it know. I know I can change those setting in the printer setting, but since I have more than one printer and usually use costume  size paper, I dont want to set those thing every time. Any idea where it is in the new version? or some kind of function similar?

    Why don't you want to use the [Printer Settings...] button?  It seems logical to control the paper there.
    Is it that you don't want the choices to affect other documents or applications?
    I have to admit, at 6:45 in the morning I'm a little fuzzy in remembering the logic (my apologies), but as I recall most or all of the settings you make in the Photoshop Print dialog (and confirm with [Done]) are kept with the document.  The most recent choices you have made get used for the next document.

  • Destop version 6.0.0.43 Where has the cab file gone?

    Hi,
    I just upgraded my desktop version and when I do my backup now I only see one file from the back up.
    blackberry9300.ipd             the size is about 786 ko
    before with the older desktop version 5.0 the backup used to create 2 files
    blackberry.ipd                      size is   806 ko
    blackberry9300.cab            size is  27 000 ko
    My question is where is the cab file with the new destop 6.0 version?
    it's use to be saved in the same folder as the .ipd file
    Did they change the format or file extension of the cab file? 
    The reason I want to find this file is because I like to backup the 2 files to an external hard drive.
    thank you

    Hey maj54,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    The way you had the synchronization setup, it seems like it was setup to synchronize the on-board memory and media as well.
    Hook up the BlackBerry to your computer and enable mass storage mode.
    Then click on backup and right below custom:
    Files saved on my built in media storage should be check marked
    once this is check marked it will will create the Cab file and ipd

  • Where has the iCloud icon gone in the menu bar

    When iCloud where in the trial stage they had a little cloud icon top right side in the menu bar to drag and drop files to. I recentlywanted to upload docs to iCloud and noticed it had gone. I never log into iCloud from the Internet, after reading the threads, it seems this is the only way to save files to the cloud now, am I wrong?

    Are you sure you aren't confusing iCloud with iWork.com? In any event, there's no menu icon. To upload iWork documents, go to http://icloud.com and go to the iWork page, pick the appropriate of the three programs, and drag the file in the Finder to the web page.

  • Where has the extensions exchange gone?

    Where has the link to the exchange gone? It used to be available on the adobe website, but it's disappeared now, or it's not very obvious anymore!

    I wanted to let you know that Adobe is working on a brand new 'Adobe Exchange'. It's been written from the ground up and delivers a completely new user and producer experience that overcomes a lot of the issues we heard from existing users and producers of the current Adobe Exchange. We also just released a new tool called the Adobe Exchange Packager which makes it easy to package up your content for the new Exchange. We plan to have a release on Labs in July but if you sign up now you may have time to get your products on the new Exchange ready for the public release.
    You can learn about the new Exchange and some of the tools for creating the content and products for it on this Adobe blog:

    You can get the new  Packager and see the new Adobe Exchange by signing up for the prerelease at:

    We hope to see you on the prerelease!

  • Where have the rich colours gone?

    I updated premioere pro cc last night and when I opened the program today the rich colours for objects in the timeline have gone.  This is making it a lot harder to see all the different tracks.  The colours are fine in the project browser just on the timeline.
    Any advice?

    This was an intentional change to address complaints about the colors of track items in the Timeline getting too washed out within the In/Out range.
    This is the very first time that it dawned on me that not all Premiere issues and problems come thru this Forum. DOH!
    I assumed that Adobe did use other ways of testing / developing FRs though. eg Edit Lab and direct feedbacks etc.
    Still..interesting that no one in this Forum complained about the color of track items!
    At least it explains to me where the End of Sequence Indicator came from.
