I noticed this while pacman was doing the update
Regenerating GConf database...
done.
/tmp/pacman-gItfSw/.INSTALL: line 16: etc/gdm/custom.conf: No such file or directory
upgrading gdm... done.
Stupid question, but shouldn't that be "/etc/gdm/custom.conf" not "etc/gdm/custom.conf" ?
Regardless, my gdm didn't work as it did before, my settings were lost and the themes were not moved over.
So I moved them.
cp -R /opt/gnome/share/gdm/themes/* /usr/share/gdm/themes/
Edited my /etc/inittab ..... one line edit
x:5:respawn:/opt/gnome/sbin/gdm -nodaemon
CHANGED TO:
x:5:respawn:/usr/sbin/gdm -nodaemon
Had to manually edit /etc/gdm/custom.conf
Changed these lines....... default was blank
[daemon]
RemoteGreeter=/usr/lib/gdm/gdmgreeter
Greeter=/usr/lib/gdm/gdmgreeter[security]
[xdmcp]
Enable=true[gui]
[greeter]
DefaultRemoteWelcome=false
RemoteWelcome=Welcome to Arch Linux
GraphicalTheme=ArchLinux
DefaultWelcome=false[chooser]
ALSO: NEED TO FIX /etc/rc.d/gdm script ........ still points to /opt I haven't got that far yet, still updating my machines.

Looks like only one line in /etc/rc.d/gdm script needs fixed
From:
PID=`pidof -o %PPID /opt/gnome/sbin/gdm-binary`
CHANGE TO:
PID=`pidof -o %PPID /usr/sbin/gdm-binary`
at least I'm thinking that line should have changed also, it gives me errors if you remove /opt/gnome/* and don't change it.

It seems that these issues are fixed in gdm 2.18.1-4. If not, submit a bug report.
