I use /usr/share/wallpapers for my custom wallpapers/backgrounds. When choosing a background for kdm in 'control panel->system administration->login manager', wallpapers in /usr/share/wallpapers show up in the list without needing to go to the browser button. They are selected and applied without error. kdm does not show the background however. It seems the /usr/share/wallpapers/ prefix is left off of the file name that is saved in /usr/kde/3.1/share/config/kdm/backgroundrc. After adding the full path, it loaded the file fine. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.put some wallpaper in /usr/share/wallpapers 2.select that wallpaper for background in control panel->sys admin->login manager 3.check kdm- wallpaper is not shown Actual Results: background not shown Expected Results: background shown I don't think any additional info is needed for this problem. Email me if more info is needed.
run genkdmconf, it will update the configfile and add an entry named BackgroundCfg in /usr/kde/3.2/share/config/kdm/kdmrc This should solve it.
Did the suggested resolution fix the problem?
genkdmconf does not exist in the 3.1 series kde. I was able to work around the problem by manually editting kdmrc and setting the full path to the background image
Workaround available and as far as I can see should not be a problem in 3.2.x, therefore closing this bug. Please reopen if this is still an issue.
