How I did it: I replaced the file /usr/share/kde4/apps/kdm/themes/SUSE/openSUSE.xml with the attached XML file (openSUSE-mod.xml). Then I configured the login screen (I have two users available) and log out. What I found was, that my first usert was visible, but the second one was not shown. Further more, the visible user Icon was too large, so that is gets overlayed over the previously available login box in the middle of the screen. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I'm having a screen resolution of 1024x600. I also have added a photo of the login screen where you can see the overlapping of the name you can click on with the login-box in the middle of the screen.

Tony, this is a KDE issue, not Gnome.

I know. I use kdm to start X11 and display the login screen (which is a KDE login screen). If I decide to log _into_ Gnome the Gnome settings become relevant _after_ logging in. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

What I saw on the VirtualBox installation was, that the user lsit was complete, as expected (containing root, user1 and user2). If i choose smaler resolutions, the userlist starts to overlay on the login area in the middle of the screen. Not nice, but everything was at least on the screen. On my Acer, I always only see the user1 in the list (the one which was created during installation). And I'm not able to get the other once onto the screen. It looks exactly as if only unser1 is in the list, no garbage or half of other user icon is visible. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I found a solution which should work fine with all resolutions that are not less than 800x600. The idea was, to just place the user list left of the middle login box. I saved the loginbox has a width of 200x600 pixles, thus a lot of users can be managed in the list. Also 200 pixle width looks quite fine to me.

Tony, thanks for the input, but this is only a solution if you wish to forgo the standard SuSE login screen including the ability to switch the session type. [...]

Near bottom right of the login window there is a menu button whose first menuitem is a submenu with all the known session types (and it tells you which one was used last): I use that to switch between Gnome and Plasma window managers. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

When you have a bug, that is clearly a huge backward step in terms of usability, with a fix supplied and tested by the community, that only affects a single file, with no chance of breaking anything else, and once it is complete you have the audacity to mark it as "WONTFIX", that's the sign of a distro that's both out of touch with the needs of its users, and on the way down the drain.

And Marcus Meisner will not be happy with that. Second hacking and theming kdm is really a pain is ass. but it's easy to contribute just checkout the new git branding repository on github (you need 12.2 branch), work, work, and fix all what you expect to be there. Once you will have spend hours, and better understand how kdm theming works, and how much limitations you have to respect, and have that kdm working on several resolution (from 800x600 until infinite), also with domain login, remote login etc, you will find that this new one, is not that bad. Three : perfection does not exist in our world. Once again, I personally will not spend more time on details for 12.2 release. It's too late in the cycle.
