This I did. The face is used in user switching applet, shown in About Me 
and screensave but not in GDM. GDM really needs the user home directory to 
have --x for others which is not default.

BTW: the correct directory for faces should be /usr/share/pixmap/faces 
probably, I was not aware of that GDM should look for image of the same 
name. I'll try that later.

As nobody noticed the first question, is there any replacement for 
gdmsetup?
