GDM Login Screen Configurator

I'm on F9 and I dont seem to have the menu option for Login Settings where you can configure auto-login, gdm themes, etc. I've searched for just about every combination I can think of in yum but haven't found anything.

So, does anyone know:

a) Why its not in F9?
b) What the name of package that provides this?

Thanks

Thanks seve, I'm actually just trying to change the gdm theme. I only mentioned the auto login so everyone would know what app I'm referring to. Any idea how to do this without the "login settings" app? Thanks

If you look in /usr/share/backgrounds/waves you will find what you are looking for. I might hack together a tool for changing the GDM background. If I get around to it I will put up a link here.
