Hello. I want to add the Arch Linux logo to GDM. Apparently the info on the wiki is outdated, because it didn't work. The info in the in the Gnome wiki seems updated, too, because it references things that aren't present anymore. Using the dconf editor in the login-screen section doesn't do anything. I installed gdm3setup on another installation that I use for experimenting purposes and after adding the logo GDM wouldn't start anymore. I had to uninstall everything with pacman -Rnscu gnome (deleting just gdm with -Rdd didn't solve the problem), and after that GDM worked again, and the logo appeared! The problem is that I can't find what was modified so I can do that in my main installation. All the info I can find on the web is for older versions. Does anybody knows how to add the Arch logo in GDM?

The stuff in the GDM article definitely worked for GDM 3.10, I know that much. What I found, when playing around with those options is that it is pointless to edit the dconf files you created once you've run dconf-update because the new version will not get incorporated into the database. If you want to make a change to one of the dconf files you have to delete the file, run dconf-update, then re-create the file and then run dconf-update again.
Just my experience. Hope this helps you.

I would like to know a solution for this as well. The wiki info doesn't work for me. I can see (and set) the file path in dconf-editor, but the logo does not show up in gdm.
