I don't believe this is how the GDM designers and developers want to do this. As we don't intend to override their decision, I'm closing this bug.
You can try opening a bug on GNOME's bug tracker, but I'm skeptical the bug will be fixed. ** Changed in: gdm (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/688943 Title: gdm should use the theme of the user when there is only one user on the system Status in GDM: The Gnome Display Manager: New Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts: Invalid Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: gdm When gdm only lists one user, so when there is only one user available at login, gdm should sync it's gtk theme and perhaps the background with that user's theme and background. So when i'm the only user on a ubuntu system chaning the theme from ambiance to radiance the gdm theme should also change acordingly. I understand the current behaviour is desirable when there are more users on a single system, but I think gdm should make a exception in this case.
