It seems by default sound for login and logout are disabled.

default disabling of login and logout sound is a bad policy. Is this set by openSUSE, or is it an uncorrected upstream default?
Ping!
Pong. This was set upstream as an explicit default. It is left to the user to enable the login and logout sounds if that is the users wish. I don't think that there is any desire to change this behavior for the openSUSE packages. Ping-Pong!
I have no problem with this as a *default* policy but why does this *default* policy impose itself on updated installation rather than retaining the <user>'s already configured choice?
I had logon/logoff sounds enabled and a recent update decided, unbeknownst to me, that it had a duty to reset them to "off".
poor choice!
Change is effective for those that *did not* change any setting, and relied on upstream setting as is. If one would explicitly enable/disable a setting per user, and upstream would change that, users setting would be left intact.
"POINT" is: I had not changed that setting as I was satisfied with it. The change was w/o my knowledge or intention which is *wrong*. There are *many* _default_ settings which one accepts as satisfactory/desired. Are *they* now subject to change w/o my knowledge or intent. Again "very poor choice". A default choice is for something new and/or previously unset, not to apply to setting previously chosen or applied by "default". -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
