Hi,
I'm a new Arch user, and i've just finished to install Arch with Gnome. Everything works fine.
But one thing doesn't.
The Gnome's menu System->administration does not exist on my PC. It's a problem, and i don' understand why?
Maybe i've forgot some packages.
Thanks for your help

our gnome is vanilla and we are not organizing menus like any other distribution do.
what are you expecting to be there? for example gnome-system-tools will install some tools but again, maybe that is not what you are searching
Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Well, i searched the configuration tool for gdm. I wanted to set automatic login.

that doesn't exists anymore since 2.20. check gnome 2.30 changes on our wiki for automatic login

I never knew there actually was a gui configuration tool for gdm. To enable auto login edit /etc/gdm/custom.conf:
[daemon]
AutomaticLoginEnable=true
AutomaticLogin=yourusernamehere
Thats all

hi,
In fact, i'm not sure that a gui tool for GDM. Before using Arch, i used Ubuntu, and in this distrib, there's a menu entry to configure login (like autologin).

because ubuntu is using a patch from gnome bugzilla, which wasn't have been yet committed in git.

Ok.
Is ArchLinux will use this patch in future?

no. the direction is upstream->packaging. if upstream doesn't commit that patch, then something is wrong with it
