[Bug 390378] New: desktop-data-openSUSE: ugly login screen ( and hence xfce4 background too!)
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=390378 Summary: desktop-data-openSUSE: ugly login screen (and hence xfce4 background too!) Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Factory Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: koenig@linux.de QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- in case this matters: I run X11 on a T60 with 1400x1050 display and ATI fglrx driver for the ATI X1400 chip. up to desktop-data-openSUSE-11.0-42 I got a nice green kdm login screen with some fine light/white ornament lines -- perfect. using xfce4 desktip that login background is kept or reused in xfce4, all nice. -44 and -47 broke desktop-data-openSUSE with some missing files. -49 (IIRC) "worked" again (no missing files anymore) but now I got a big gray horizontal bar with some green bars on top and below. within that gray bar there was again some nice lines ornament. not really nice anymore, but oh well -- maybe someone else is happy this that design ;-) now with -52 and -53 even that ornament stuff is gone and I only see a ugle gray box in the middle of the screen (about 1/2 screen height with a thin while line at the bottom of gray) and about 1/4 screen on top and bottom with solid green. now this is _really_ ugly to me! if that's the new novell/suse corporate idea, I question the taste of your gui/desktop/whatever designer ;-) if it's just a technical bug, please fix it and give us a nice suse-like background again! -- 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.

xfce should afauk now use a branded wallpaper.
my bug report is more about the ugly kdm login screen which every openSUSE user will see (well, many except for gnome users? don't know....) about xfce: I'm using the lastest factory update: rpm -qa xfce\* | sort xfce-mcs-manager-4.4.2-53 xfce-mcs-plugins-4.4.2-52 xfce4-appfinder-4.4.2-51 xfce4-desktop-4.4.2-59 xfce4-desktop-branding-upstream-4.4.2-59 xfce4-icon-theme-4.4.2-28 xfce4-mixer-4.4.2-52 xfce4-panel-4.4.2-52 xfce4-session-4.4.2-53 xfce4-volstatus-0.1.0-124 I just did an init 3/init5 to make sure that kdm got restarted after the last update -- still the same issue: both kdm and xfce show the same ugly non-suse-stylish background... -- 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 am not sure if on a XFce install the default Display Manager should be GDM or SLiM. Currently, if you install XFce up on top of the 'basic X11 support' pattern, XDM is used as Display Manager (which could also get some facelift).

but again: right now my main complain is about the design of the _KDM_ login screen! everything else us much lower priority (even for me;) -- 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.

looks nice! but just a comment after looking on some of the screen shots: I'm missing a notice (feature?) how to select the desktop (kde[34]/gnome/fvwm2/xfce/..) at login time... -- 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.

It is changed with F2 key (I think). But PAM support in slim support is quite immature so slim is a NO GO, yet. -- 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.
