gdmsetup is not installed

I've been running arch for a few weeks now and so far it's fantastic. I was finally going to get around to customizing gdm but gdmsetup does not seem to be installed. Does anyone know what package it is a part of? The following is a list of packages I have installed with gnome in the name:

pacman -Q | grep -i gnome
gnome-applets 2.28.0-2
gnome-audio 2.22.0-1
gnome-backgrounds 2.28.0-1
gnome-control-center 2.28.1-1
gnome-desktop 2.28.2-1
gnome-desktop-sharp 2.26.0-3
gnome-disk-utility 2.28.1-1
gnome-do 0.8.3.1-1
gnome-doc-utils 0.18.1-1
gnome-games 2.28.2-1
gnome-games-extra-data 2.28.0-1
gnome-icon-theme 2.28.0-1
gnome-keyring 2.28.2-1
gnome-keyring-sharp-svn 87622-3
gnome-mag 0.15.9-1
gnome-media 2.28.5-1
gnome-menus 2.28.0.1-1
gnome-mime-data 2.18.0-4
gnome-netstatus 2.28.0-1
gnome-nettool 2.28.0-1
gnome-panel 2.28.0-2
gnome-pilot 2.0.17-2
gnome-power-manager 2.28.3-1
gnome-python 2.28.0-1
gnome-python-desktop 2.28.0-3
gnome-screensaver 2.28.3-1
gnome-session 2.28.0-1
gnome-settings-daemon-notify-osd 2.28.1-1
gnome-sharp 2.24.1-1
gnome-speech 0.4.25-1
gnome-system-monitor 2.28.0-1
gnome-system-tools 2.28.2-1
gnome-terminal 2.28.2-1
gnome-themes 2.28.1-1
gnome-utils 2.28.3-1
gnome-vfs 2.24.2-2
gnome2-user-docs 2.28.2-1
libgail-gnome 1.20.1-1
libgnome 2.28.0-2
libgnomecanvas 2.26.0-1
libgnomekbd 2.28.2-1
libgnomeui 2.24.2-1
libsoup-gnome 2.28.2-1
polkit-gnome 0.96-1

I was under the impression that it should have been a part of one of those packages, but that does not seem to be the case.

Re: gdmsetup is not installed

GDM 2.28 no longer has gdmsetup. If you want to customize the new GDM look here:

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Gno … g_gdm_2.28

Also you can try gdm2setup from the AUR:

Oh, I see. I'll take a look at that then. Thank you for the remarkably quick reply.

Re: gdmsetup is not installed

It's because this question is asked a lot.

When in doubt, check Arch wiki, if nothing is up, try other Linux distos' wikis.
