I tried in a vm with only gdm-service-type (and no gnome) and the assets 
also wrapped inside gdm and got a white box as a cursor. This might be 
caused by adwaita not being in the profile (which gnome-shell-assets 
also get added to) but I am not sure about this.

I'd suggest leaving the gnome-shell-assets as is for now and deal with 
the gdm customisation issue at another time as it looks like it is more 
complicated than just adding the assets to the wrapper.


Regarding the patch should I create and send it or someone of you? (I 
don't really care)

And if the answer is me should the patch be against master or gnome-team 
branch?

Cheers
