All themes are affected. Of course to configure gdm I hat to login, 
then start gdmsetup as root from a terminal, because it's impossible to 
select the configure option from the menu directly in gdm login-screen:
fonts are so big that that option gets out from the screen.

I may never find all the answers
I may never understand why
I may never prove what I know to be true
but I know that I still have to try
If I die tomorrow
I'd be allright 
because I believe
that after we're gone
        the spirit carries on
