Details

Install Arch 0.8, then a standard gnome installation. Enter the GDM Configuration dialog ; click to "theme" ; GDM grays out the dialog and freezes.

Can be restarted by /etc/rc.d/gdm restart

If this has done GDM has switched to the theme ; added ArchGDM.zip to the themes and selected it, but GDM doesn't change to reflect the selection. Switch to 'Random Theme from Selected', change a couple of entries, switch back to one theme only, select a different theme, select the them you want and it works.

Likely that default gdm configure file is incorrect and puts gdm dialogue into an unstable state.
This task depends upon

Note: as of 2.18.1.1 (GDM is configured from Gnome, not from itself) there is no graying of the dialog when theme is selected ; however it still requires the jiggery-pokery with the selected/random and changing to get it to work correctly. I can't find a specific pattern of actions which fixes this ; it is "if you fiddle and change the options a few times it suddenly works".

This is repeatable on install but not on reconfigure, once it's working it works properly from then on.

I cannot reproduce it, works fine here.

I'm closing this as "Works for me". GDM configuration scheme is going to be changed in Gnome 2.22/2.24 anyway.
