You can edit the "SystemMenu" option in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf: # The system menu is shown in the greeter SystemMenu=true There's also another option for "SecureSystemMenu", which you might need to set to "false". I don't know how much of a security risk this is: # The system menu requires the root password for all options SecureSystemMenu=false This can also be configured "graphically" once the "SystemMenu" is visible in the GDM greeter. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
