For KDE you should first disable SuSE theme - /etc/displaymanager DISPLAYMANAGER_KDM_THEME=""
In KDE4 this location does not exist anymore ..

Sorry, my mistake, of course it should be in sysconfig and you can use Yast sysem module to edit these files.
But what a fuss to just change a background image... The only thing i want to have changed is the backgound image of the bootloaderscreen, the screens that follow up, and the loginmanager screen. It has just to be the same image for all, so no difficult things at all.
Not sure it is possible. Very different components are responsible for these BG images. Bootloader screen is displayed before X is started, file system is not yet accessible, so there is special mechanism and it is different in different bootloaders (even GRUB 2 and GRUB 1 a.k.a. GRUB legacy differ in that). In the X different users use different display mangers, so it is also difficult to make them all using the same image. This thing with DISPLAYMANAGER_KDM_THEME existed long ago. I agree, it is not convenient if one do not like default SUSE theme, but you get used to it.
Th only thing i want to know is which files (pathnames, or how to find them) have to be replaced by the image i want to use.
The problem is also that the system settings for KDM logon screen are disabled, or get overwritten by the default settings
As I wrote, for the KDM the background image (if you do not use themed greeter) is in config/kdm/backgroundrc. For KDE4 it is in /usr/share/kde4 and for KDE3 in /opt/kde3/...). And yes, for KDE4 it is overwritten every time there is KDM update. Bug #566252 has been opened in December 2009 and it is still there, happily sitting in NEW state.
