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. No double post here.
I never wanted to spend this much time on such a (seemingly) trivial matter but this has now officially turned into a quest for me..... I checked the file and the YAST editor correctly changed it to "" already. You say it worked for you. Does that mean that you were able to get the small panel on a custom background or were you referring to the config file edit?
