Nabble is likely to mangle it if I paste it in, so I've put the patch up at http://www.eridani.co.uk/gdmfix/gdm-2.26.1-excludes.patch - this is against the latest update for F11. It probably doesn't conform to the GDM coding style, and is quite an ugly hack, but it works for me. -- Michael -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/f10-gdm-user-hide-tp1646982p3411654.html Sent from the fedora mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
