I am not a GDM themer, but I picked apart a Novell GDM a while back
and was surprised at how 'broken down' it was - all elements on it
were separate pngs and I think they were tiling some them (for example
a semitrans white png for the bar accross the middle...)
I think using a background that is okay for scaling - say something
abstract, and then putting the logo etc as boxes on top should help -
no?
Sorry to be so vague, I'm not on my Linux box...
