Summary
Ubuntu 9.10 introduced a new GDM version without a GUI setup utility. A minimal setup tool was developed for Ubuntu to allow configuration of automatic user login. This specification is for the extra configuration items that should be added to this tool.
Release Note
This release has improved login screen configuration and now allows configuration of the following options:
- ...
Rationale
There are a number of GDM features that users want to configure simply.
User stories
Assumptions
Design
You can have subsections that better describe specific parts of the issue.
Implementation
This section should describe a plan of action (the "how") to implement the changes discussed. Could include subsections like:
UI Changes
Should cover changes required to the UI, or specific UI that is required to implement this
Code Changes
Code changes should include an overview of what needs to change, and in some cases even the specific details.
Migration
No migration.
Test/Demo Plan
It's important that we are able to test new features, and demonstrate them to users. Use this section to describe a short plan that anybody can follow that demonstrates the feature is working. This can then be used during testing, and to show off after release. Please add an entry to http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Coverage/NewFeatures for tracking test coverage.
This need not be added or completed until the specification is nearing beta.
Unresolved issues
This should highlight any issues that should be addressed in further specifications, and not problems with the specification itself; since any specification with problems cannot be approved.
