[SOLVED] How to manually select a GDM theme?

Hey guys,

Recently I decided to finally change my GDM theme from the default one to a custom one, except I'm having some trouble.  I use Fluxbox as my WM and I don't have the GNOME Login Window app to help me out, so I tried looking at the configuration file and changing some values in there.

Initially I changed the "GraphicalTheme" field to the custom theme I wanted and transferred the theme's folder to /usr/share/gdm/themes, but this hasn't done the trick.  Are there any other options I need to add/modify to ensure that this will work, or is there an application out there that will run well with Fluxbox and help me out with this?

Thanks in advance!

Re: [SOLVED] How to manually select a GDM theme?

Once again, I seem to find the solution quite easily after posting.

I discovered a program called gdmsetup (discovered it through GDM's man page), if you run that you'll be able to configure GDM.
