I tried, sed -e 's/GraphicalTheme=/GraphicalTheme=<my-theme>/ gdm.conf',but

Thanks a lot!, it worked. But where did you manage to get these commands
of sed?...am googling but am not able to get a gud tutorial of sed
commands....
Now am stuck up with another command...
I want to enable xdcmp flag Enable to true in gdm.conf. What i do, i get
all lines between the words "[xdmcp]" and "HonorIndirect=", and try to
replace that Enable line to Enable=true in those lines. I managed to get
help from http://sed.sourceforge.net/sedfaq4.html#s4.20 as how to get all
line between the words "from" to "until" and replace. But unfortunately it
seems to be not working...no idea why...here is the command,
sed -e '/[xdmcp]/,/HonorIndirect=/ { s/\<\Enable=\>/Enable=false/g }'
/etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf
any idea how to make it work?
the operational part of the change is the .* at the end. those \s* may
be necessary for parsing any legal gdm.conf in particular.
