RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Description of problem:
KDM background should be same as in GDM.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kdm-4.10.5-7.el7.x86_64
How reproducible:
always
Steps to Reproduce:
Boot to KDM.
Actual results:
KDM use desktop background (blue seven).
Expected results:
KDM should use dark grey background like GDM.
Additional info:
From Branding Documentation:
The login screen can use branded artwork in two places: the lock screen shield that covers the login screen and a distributor logo, shown at the top of the user list widget.
kdm uses the default rhel7 background /usr/share/backgrounds/day.jpg.
It looks like gdm uses own background instead the default rhel7 background from redhat-logos. In my opionion it's not a bug in kdm but rather in gdm which should use the default rhel7 background.

The GDM login screen is working as designed. Showing the default user background in it, is not part of the design or a feature of the implementation. (it will show the default user background in the "shield" that comes down over the login screen, as mentioned in the quoted branding text in comment 0).
Of course, KDM has a different design, one that allows for changable backgrounds. I don't think KDM and GDM necessarily need to match, since they're designed following different metaphors. I'm going to move this back to kde-workspace, but than may WONTFIX this.
