Comment 1 Rex Dieter 2008-08-28 22:27:20 UTC
$HOME/.face.icon works for me (using kde-4.1.0, currently in updates-testing).

I'll see about testing/verifying the other locations.

that what?

Comment 3 Charlweed Hymerfan 2008-08-28 23:04:55 UTC
Sorry about that...

I have started kdm with /usr/bin/kdm --nodaemon --debug 0x804, and seen that 
the open syscall does not fail for .default, but is still not shown.

[root@mawu faces]# grep -i "default.face" kdm.log 
open("/usr/share/apps/kdm/faces/.default.face.icon", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK) = 16
The chdirs work as well

The strace log is included as an attachment.

Comment 4 Kevin Kofler 2008-08-28 23:07:13 UTC
SELinux problem?

Comment 5 Charlweed Hymerfan 2008-08-29 14:26:43 UTC
SELinux is in permissive mode.

Comment 6 Steven M. Parrish 2008-09-25 23:24:41 UTC
Thanks for the report.  I checked upstream and could not find a matching bug.Please file a bug report in the the upstream bugzilla located at http://bugs.kde.org for the particular component involved.

Once you've filed your bug report to the upstream bugzilla, please add the upstream info to this report. We will continue to track the issue in the centralized upstream bug tracker, and will review any bug fixes that become available for consideration in future updates.

Setting status to NEEDINFO, and awaiting upstream bug report URL for tracking.

Thanks in advance.

Comment 8 Steven M. Parrish 2009-02-06 16:07:28 UTC
The information we've requested above is required in order to review this problem report further and diagnose or fix the issue if it is still present.  Since it has been thirty days or more since we first requested additional information, we're assuming the problem is either no longer present in the current Fedora release, or that there is no longer any interest in tracking the problem.

Setting status to "CLOSED: INSUFFICIENT_DATA".  If you still experience this problem after updating to our latest Fedora release and can provide the information previously requested, please feel free to reopen the bug report.

Thank you in advance.
