Ok, that is nice, so this kdmrc uses a directory where it looks for the themes. And the two: /etc/kde4/config/kdm has bacgroundrc /usr/share/kde4/apps/kdm/themes/SUSE/Background.jpeg is where the image should be stored. It looks like we are getting somewhere. /usr/share/kde4/config/kdm contains the kdmrc and bak, and also backgroundrc, and this readme:
This automatically generated configuration consists of the following files: - /usr/share/kde4/config/kdm/kdmrc - /usr/share/kde4/config/kdm/backgroundrc
This config was derived from existing files. As the used algorithms are pretty dumb, it may be broken. Information from these files was extracted: - /usr/share/kde4/config/kdm/kdmrc Old files that would have been overwritten were renamed to <oldname>.bak.
Try 'genkdmconf --help' if you want to generate another configuration.
You may delete this README.
So, as i was already here earlier in my search, the reason for the breakage seem to be the'pretty dumb algorithms used'..... so that means, what, that it can not be fixed?, or that it won't be fixed? The directory it points to: Theme=/usr/share/kde4/apps/kdm/themes But somewhere in between things go wrong. I see here in this config, that the changes i make trough login screen manager in systemsettings, are written down, because i recognise the changes i made, but the loginmanager that is used instead of the one i choose, is not found in the directory that is given, that is why these choices can not be committed after saving. So changes made in the first part:
AntiAliasing=true ColorScheme=Oxygen FaceSource=AdminOnly FailFont=Sans Serif,10,-1,5,75,0,0,0,0,0 ForgingSeed=1350896550 GUIStyle=Cleanlooks GreetFont=Serif,20,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0 They get committed after saving, but the actual theme does not.
What is wrong here? How can there be a login manager greeter, that can be changed in look, but no theme? -- Have a nice day, Oddball.

In my 11.4 partition, upgraded from (probably) 11.2:
## Path: Desktop/Display manager ## Description: settings to generate a proper displaymanager config ## Type: string(kdm,kdm3,kdm4,xdm,gdm,wdm,console) ## Default: "" # # Here you can set the default Display manager (kdm/xdm/gdm/wdm/console). # all changes in this file require a restart of the displaymanager # DISPLAYMANAGER="gdm"
See? no default setting, certainly not kde3. What you show comes from a much earlier version left on the hard disk. Ah, an expert! No not kde, kdm3 script is used, in 121, and 122 It has been a clean install, on a formatted / drive. And if you use gnome, you will have the gnome displaymanager..
Al this is beside the point.
In fact, your file has been edited, because the variable is at the end, far from the comments that pertain to it:
Few times via yast tried to change the theme...
DISPLAYMANAGER_XSERVER="Xorg" ## Path: Desktop/Display manager ## Description: settings to generate a proper displaymanager config ## Type: string(kdm,kdm3,kdm4,xdm,gdm,wdm,entrance,console) ## Default: "" # # Here you can set the default Display manager (kdm/xdm/gdm/wdm/entrance/console). # all changes in this file require a restart of the displaymanager # DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm"
Your file is broken in parts. You can see that the default displaymanger above is empty (your file), not kdm3 - as we all have :-)
You are right, a real expert...
Where comes that incomplete first paragraph of yours, who knows.
