Well after trying to reproduce you problem I think I found out what went wrong. You can change the user icon if you have the User,anmin or User icon radio button uder User Image source checked. If you have Admin or Admin,user checked the icon will not change. So check User, admin in User Image Source. Then pick the user from the dropdown list under User Images. Select a 64X64 pixel png file to use as the image. It appears to get copied to the /opt/kde3/share/apps/kdm/pics/users/ and get named as <USERNAME>.PNG. According to the /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc kdm is supposed to be able to grab the png from the user's home directory in the .face directory. I haven't been able to get that to work. Here is a how-to that I found: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/KDE-GUI-Login-Configuration-HOWT... On Wednesday 30 April 2003 11:55 pm, Travis Owens wrote:

I guess that you can take icons for other places but I would check the existing ones out to see what size and number of colors they are first. I have never changed them myself.

I've checked the KDE control center... It's only got like 3 or 4 listed and they're all lame compared to the little guy that's default. I just left him in there for now, but I'd like to change it...
Thanks anyways... nice try! :)
