GDM Configuration

For all gdm configurations, change the icon theme and show the weekday on the clock :

$ sudo -u gdm dbus-launch gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface icon-theme Tela
$ sudo -u gdm dbus-launch gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface clock-show-weekday true

On laptops, show also the battery percentage and enable tap to click :

$ sudo -u gdm dbus-launch gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad tap-to-click true
$ sudo -u gdm dbus-launch gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface show-battery-percentage true
