Change login window on Ubuntu 10.04

To change the theme add gnome-appearance-properties to GDM's autostart applications:

Code:

sudo cp /usr/share/applications/gnome-appearance-properties.desktop /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow/

Log out. Select a new theme/wallpaper/font/icons/pointer. Log in and remove gnome-appearance-properties to GDM's autostart applications:

Code:

sudo rm /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow/gnome-appearance-properties.desktop

Simple, interactive, and no additional applications needed to make the changes.
