If you are allowing scripts to be run at logout, would it be an idea to allow the result to be shown in some way? Having to log back in to check the result of a script, in my case a backup script, seems wrong. Maybe its too complicated to do, i don't know.
Again, you can run kdialog/xdialog I suppose, or an xterm/konsole. Or, you could probably use the standard desktop notifications, but at the point that your script runs plasma might have shutdown already and might not be able to display them any more. No idea, you'd have to try. The simplest way is to use the "notify-send" command that's part of the package "libnotify-tools". But a notification definitely won't block/delay the logout, so you'd have to do that yourself (via sleep e.g.) to be actually able to read the message.
No, IMHO the confusion was created by you wanting to display messages at the "splash screen"... ;-)
Probably, its actually the same image that is displayed as a background to the kdm login which appears before the kdm login dialog gets displayed.
And it's also the same image that's used as wallpaper in KDE by default, or as background of the lock screen, or as splash screen during boot/shutdown. That's what they call "consistent branding" I suppose... ;-) Kind Regards, Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
