The log in procedure goes well until I get to the log in page. Then I get a message saying that it can't open /usr/share/gdm/themes/Bluecurve/Bluecurve.xml.
I opened one of the other terminals (ctrl-alt-f1) and looked for the file. It is still there. But cd /usr/share/gdm/themes/Bluecurve complains that Bluecurve is not a directory. Using vi on it tells me that Bluecurve is a directory and that it includes Bluecurve.xml. I did open Bluecurve.xml with vi and while I could not tell if anything was wrong with it, it had text in it which seemed OK. Eg not scrambled text. I looked at the file permissions and nothing obviously stupid there eg root owns it and drwxr-x--x (this is approximate as I forgot to write it down). Where should I go from here?
