I've notice if you change the login theme via "System Settings"/System Administration/Login Screen, it is never applied. It seems like a redundant configuration item. In the past and it seems now, you have to edit config files to action a change of login screen.
I believe this is a different level than the one you intend to modify.
Not even. I've tried editing /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager
Anything you change there is ignored. The old 1990's login screen has returned with that simply awful blue stripe background. Our workers are up in arms and I've today to get it back to something that looks as if it was produced in 2012. lightdm looks like a good workaround. . I only saw the issue when doing a DVD upgrade from 12.1 to 12.2. The issue did not happen again with a clean install of 12.2. Perhaps this helps point to where the problem is?
I always do clean installs so that won't be the issue. Its a known problem/feature. I guess Suse doesn't want you to loose their branding by changing to another login screen.
In /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager DISPLAYMANAGER_KDM_THEME has to be set to openSUSE I saw the same default KDE theme with a system upgraded from openSUSE 12.1 and DISPLAYMANAGER_KDM_THEME was still at "SUSE".
