Description MaurizioB 2005-05-04 07:27:12 UTC

If you set a default user in kcontrol, KDM doesn't show it but it shows the last user that logged out (found on kde 3.3.4)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set a default user for the login window in kcontrol
2. Log off (or open another kdm session)
Actual Results:  
The user written in the username box is not the default one, but the last user 
who logged off.


I've found a simple solution for this problem.
Find this line:

PreselectUser=Previous

and change it into:

PreselectUser=Default

Then restart kdm and it should work.

This is discussed here for kde 3.3.x:
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88339

It seems kde 3.4 doesn't have this problem.
