I am experiencing one problem which I haven't been able to solve yet, and perhaps you can provide some guidance. When I elect to log off, I get a screen with two options, cancel or end current session. Cancel is obvious and end current session takes me to a very plain screen with the lizard at the top and a box for login and password. No options for switch user, or shutdown. If I use my user login things go as expected; if I use the root approach i get a very light green screen with a bask-like box.
What do I have to do the get the expected - at least for me - options at log out?
That's a known bug, for some reason some package when you install or upgrade it changes the login manager to xdm instead of the normal kdm
Log out, switch to a text console with ctrl-alt-F1. and log in as root. Then run
rcxdm stop
Then edit /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager and change DISPLAYMANAGER to "kdm", save and run
rcxdm start
Then you should get the normal login screen
