Description:
When gdm has been upgraded lately, it has overriden my customized gdm.schemas without any warning. (shouldn't gdm.schemas be placed as a .pacnew file). I use gdm.schemas to exclude some users from the gdm list, so maybe there is a more appropriate way of doing that...

Additional info:
* version 2.30.4

Steps to reproduce:
Customize /etc/gdm/gdm.schemas
Upgrade gdm

This task depends upon

gdm.schemas is a file with default configuration settings. According to GNOME documentation, you should modify settings in /etc/gdm/custom.conf:
