Absolutely. Using kdm, login as root, go to KControl. In there, under the login part, you can select which users appear on the login screen, the image to attach to that user, the background, font, etc etc. I set my mum up with a little photo of herself - she was so chuffed the first time she saw the login screen appear! Kdm is really rather nice. k.
Hi Kester, How does it work in the end?? I tried it the hard way by copying the logo of kcalc to /opt/kde/share/apps/kdm/pics/users/brauki.xpm. And voila - instead of the original picture I saw the kcalc logo. Next I tried a picture of me as xpm and copied it to the location. Of course it did *not* work. I tried your suggestion. There seem to be a bunch of directorys with xpm's. They do not show anything the above mentioned path, but there are pics in there. It seems even worse: If I change the contence of a directory by copying further files into, the pics disappear for the entire directory from the selection menue. ;-( There is something weird.
