On [ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy ] it states:
The login window is also sometimes called the Gnome Display Manager, or GDM.
*Click System → Administration → Login Window.
To install new login screen themes, save the .tar.gz with your theme on it to the directory of your choice. In the Login Screen program, press the Install New Theme button, find your new theme's file, and press the Install button.
Then simply select the new theme from the list of available themes. You can also set it up to pick a random theme on every boot, rather than picking just one theme.
Well, I navigate to where it says, but the program that launches is TOTALLY different than in 9.04. Instead of giving me all sorts of options, it just a small box that only lets me alter automatic / manual login. WTF??? In all fairness, my 9.04 install was a single user system, my 9.10 install has 3 users. I don't know if or why that would make a difference.
PLEASE HELP!
