Whats With The New Login?

Post by opticyclic »

Is it just me or is the login screen for Gloria much nicer than the one for Helena?
What was the rational behind the change?
Whats the name of the old one so that I can install it?

The gdm change came from upstream, (Gnome). The gdm from Gloria is not going to be compatible with the newer version of Gnome.
