Okay, so I created /etc/sysconfig/desktop with the lines DESKTOP="KDE" DISPLAYMANAGER="KDE" and X11 gives me gives me the kde login screen. (At least, I've never seen the gnome login screen provide all those great options, like restarting the X server. :-) But I don't get a user list. Just the user name and password fields, which is not bad, and my family can probably get used to it, but it doesn't really tell me what's happening. Nosing around the web, I found the kdm docs, http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kdebase-workspace/kdm/kdm-files.html and there's a UserList option in there. So I go edit /etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc , change UserList to true and it ignores me. Must be some file that overrides that in Fedora. The description of the options tells me a lot, however. It looks like the new specification here is to show all users in a specified range which have a defined password. Or you can hard-wire your list of users. That's a serious spec bug, and I guess I'll have to go hassle the freedesktop group about it. The previous chapter describes KDE's GUI configuration tool, which I have not got, I suppose I should load that and see if I can get it to change something for me. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
