[opensuse] Logout-screen lock applet buttons (Kde 3.5/ Suse 10.2 )
Hi All Does anyone know a way to revert the order of the Logoff/Lock buttons on the applet? All the years its been logout on the far right but now its on the left in 10.2 and by habit i keep locking the screen regards Ian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

You can probably get this behavior by reducing the thickness of the task bar. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

1) Find your ~/.kde/share/config/lockout_panelapplet_*_rc config file 1b) If it doesn't exist toggle transparency of applet to have it created 2) Add "[lockout] OriginalLayout=true" 3) Restart the panel (relogin or "dcop kicker Panel restart") Bye, Steve -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Thanks for the information, Steve. That worked but it seems inconsistent between the 4 users with regards to the file name it created by setting it to Transparent. With 3 of the users it created a file name similar to "lockout_panelapplet_mmjd4vmw82o6qx8won26_rc" (all 3 were different names) and one was created as "lockout_panelapplet_rc" (this one seems correct) - this also happened on openSuse 10.1. They are all are now configured like this [lockout] Transparent=false OriginalLayout=true The logout process now seems to take a bit longer. Can i copy this file to /opt/kde3/share/config so any new users will get this setting? After generating the file and modifying and logging out for the first user (not "root"), the "root" user suddenly appeared on the log in list of names with the conductor icon. I had to then update the Login Manager and tick the root user to be invisible. thanks again regards Ian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I think you're seeing ghosts...

No. At least not until tweaking logout applet at other places to be unique. Bye, Steve -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
