I got tired restoring KDM settings after every update of KDE4.3 (bug #566252) and decided to check how it is in KDE 4.4. After upgrading (from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Factory:/Desktop/openSU..., this morning) background setting was lost again, but now the "Login Manager" configuration (Personal Settings -> System -> Login manager) just have everything grayed out. It reminds KDE 3.5, with one exception: KDE3.5 had "Administrator mode" button that after entering the root password enables KDM configuration. No such button in KDE 4.4. Looked briefly through both Novel and KDE bugzillas and have not seen reports on it. Anybody saw this issue?

... Ahhh... found this issue: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151669. I can't believe it was discussed since Nov-2007? More that 2 years on such basic thing?
