Use yast system, etc/sysconfig editor. goto Desktop, Display manager, find DISPLAYMANAGER_KDE_THEME and remove "suse" just leave it blank. now you can see the old stlye login, and change the background.

Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately it didn't help.

I never would have imagined that this would be so tough.

If it's not working using yast, you could try editing the file manually. /etc/syscofig/displaymanager

find this section, it is where the suse kdm theme is loaded

"the blue, full screen login panel SuSE installs"

## Type: string ## Default: SUSE # # Define the theme to be used by kdm. If empty, the traditional login # window is used (which lacks some features) <==================" the old small grey one" #

DISPLAYMANAGER_KDM_THEME="SUSE"

change it to

DISPLAYMANAGER_KDM_THEME=""

that should be it. That is what I had to do anyway. hope that does it for you. Hope I didn't double post this, I don't know if it got sent the first time.
