Details

1) the doc of gdm (http://www.gnome.org/projects/gdm/docs/2.14/configuration.html)
say that gdm can read the configuration in <etc>/gdm/custon.conf
"if you want to change configuration by hand, edit the
<etc>/gdm/custom.conf file and make sure the keyname=value pair you
want is included in the appropriate section"

but I find that the gdm(2.14.0-1) in archlinux can't read the
configuration in custom.conf. And when you run "sudo gdmsetup". It
edit the gdm.conf , not the custom.conf.

2)the PKGBUILD in abs have this line
install -m444 ${startdir}/defaults.conf ${startdir}/pkg/opt/gnome/share/gdm/

but i could not find the defaults.conf in /opt/gnome/share/gdm
This task depends upon

/opt/gnome/share/gdm/defaults.conf is owned by gdm 2.14.0-1

[arjan@alpha ~]$ pacman -Q gdm
gdm 2.14.0-1

and it works for me
my best guess is that you updated, and the gdm.conf wasn't moved as planned.

I reinstall gdm and it work well.

before i reinstall gdm. There are two file in /opt/gnome/etc/gdm/
custom.conf and gdm.conf
after reinstall, there is only one file custom.conf. And everything works well.

I really don't know why there is a gdm.conf before reinstall. :)

thanks very much!
