Gdm - Old Login Screen

Ever since upgrading to Gnome 3.2 I can't get the new login screen to appear on startup (I get the old one). After logging out I do, however, get the new login screen. How do I fix this?

Re: Gdm - Old Login Screen

I have the same problem. Sometimes I get the new-style login screen, sometimes the old-style one. Logging off and on works fine.

Hope, this is fixed when Gnome3.4 is released...

Re: Gdm - Old Login Screen

I have this behavior too. I believe it's some kind of timing issue, e.g if one of services starting before gdm takes more time then usual, the gdm shows in old version. So it might as well depend on your particular daemons configuration and not necessarily will be fixed upstream. Anyway in 19 out of 20 boots I have the new login screen so I didn't really investigate this.

At work I have another computer, with Fedora 16 also running latest gnome 3.2, and I haven' seen such a problem there.
