The settings in /etc/sysconfig are used by all available display managers (e.g.
GDM, KDM, etc). Indeed this is something openSUSE specific and in the past
almost all KDM settings were taken from there. The thought behind this was to
have a uniform setup of the display managers and no matter which display
manager was in use, the same setup would apply.
Around KDE 4.11, this was changed to allow the user to change more things
around KDM through the standard KDE systemsettings. In order to keep equal to
the GNome setup, a couple of settings remained and were taken from
/etc/sysconfig.
Based on this bug report, I looked into the GDM setup and there seems to have
been some changes as well. At the moment I am testing a patch where also the
settings with regards to password-less users and the DISPLAYMANAGER_SHUTDOWN
parameter are now taken from the default KDM configuration in
/usr/share/kde4/config/kdm/kdmrc.
If everything goes fine, then this patch could land in the KDE repositories
latest tomorrow.
