Thanks for that, I do not have a RH support account. I will put in the scripting to ensure the directory is there. I can confirm that after putting it in there manually everything seems to work correctly.
That said, I guess I'm interested in the "design" choice and if there isn't a more appropriate place to stick this type of config under the new "design". Again, I tried to hunt through release notes, issues, etc. in Gnome's gitlab code tree, but didn't find anything that jumped out at me as relevant to changing the behavior or otherwise noting a "design" change between Gnome versions.
I have a feeling Redhat might not be telling the whole story here ?
If you have a look at the Redhat SRPM spec file for gdm with 7.5, in the %build section, it explicitly does:
mkdir -p $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_sysconfdir}/dconf/db/gdm.d/locks
and then in the %files section:
%dir %{_sysconfdir}/dconf/db/gdm.d/locks %dir %{_sysconfdir}/dconf/db/gdm.d
i.e. Redhat add /etc/dconf/db/gdm.d/ to their packaging of gdm - which has nothing to do with the upstream gnome/gdm release
The above bits are missing from the 7.6 gdm spec file ...
I would say that this is a strange thing to do, as Redhat are usually quite good at keeping things as compatible as possible between minor releases - but I guess they must of had their reasons?
