Not sure. It could be related somehow. This bug and all duplicated to it are regarding cases when some configuration of KDM does not work if done from KDE control center and work if appropriate parameter in /etc/sysconfig file is changed through YaST or manually.
In my case the configured options work until the KDE update. So looks like some setting is overwritten during update.
My idea was that your configuration gets overwritten by SuSEconfig[0] that puts the options set /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager into the right place. To be exactly, at least when using 11.1, it looks like nothing is overwritten but the file /var/adm/kdm/kdmrc.sysconfig is created from /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager. However, the former configuration file takes precedence over /usr/share/kde4/config/kdm/kdmrc which is altered by the KDE system configuration dialog. This, IMHO, leads to the bug mentioned above. But /var/adm/kdm/kdmrc.sysconfig is re-created on every boot, thus, your settings must be lost after reboot, too. Since this does not happen to you, it seems that the bug mentioned above is not "your" bug.
In the meantime it happened again.
Thanks anyway for pointing to this bug. I'll try to check around it.
The other possibility is that the KDM settings are lost because of the fact that /usr/share/kde4/config/kdm/kdmrc belongs to the kdm package and might be replaced as soon as kdm gets updated[1]. However, there should be a backup created by rpm in this case, /usr/share/kde4/config/kdm/kdmrc.rpmold or so. Gruß Jan [0] SuSEconfig is run after each updates, so, it only seems that the update causes this problem. [1] This may be the reason for having /var/adm/kdm/kdmrc.sysconfig, since this file will not get lost, even after an update. -- A bachelor is a selfish, undeserving guy who has cheated some woman out of a divorce. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
