Configuring the New GDM Greeter

There isn't a configuration file change that can do this?  I'd hate to 
have to manually manage separate versions of packages for a whole bunch 
of computers if I can possibly avoid it.  Also, are you sure this won't 
potentially break anything?  I'm not familiar with GDM, I imagine GDMs 
responsibilities (for example starting ssh-keyserver, etc) have changed.

Thanks,
Alvin
