I've read many posts complaining about lack of a GUI to configure GDM in 9.10 and some rough workarounds including logging in as gdm user and using gnome-control-center but no real concrete suggestions how to do it via gconf/filesystem modifications. Does anyone have a link(s) to a wiki page, forum post, developer blog, etc. detailing the "new" GDM settings to make the changes by hand?

Older versions were customizable /etc/X11/gdm.conf.

New display manager re-configuration is different. Know how?
