Since the transition from GDM 2.20 to 2.26 there is no longer a graphical facility to configure preferences for GDM.

Without a tool an average user will not be able to change the login settings from the default.

The changes will involve

Option A

Produce a stand-alone gdmsetup tool with the following options:
- Default user
- Login delay
- Background

Option B

Modify the "Users and Groups" tool to be able to set the default user and login delay
Modify the "Appearance" tool to be able to set the login background

TBD
