Description Sebastian Vahl 2007-05-10 15:42:20 UTC
Description of problem:
Newest redhat-artwork-7.0.0-3.fc7 will support the userlist in kdm. To use faces
in it kdebase should create and own %{_datadir}/apps/kdm/faces. This is the
default search path for "facedir", see
http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kdebase/kdm/kdm-files.html#kdmrc-greeter


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 
kdebase-3.5.6-6.fc7

Comment 1 Rex Dieter 2007-05-10 16:59:29 UTC
Easyfix indeed.  I was going to do most of the kde-settings, kdelibs, kdebase
work tonight, so will just add this to the list.

Comment 2 Sebastian Vahl 2007-05-10 19:52:22 UTC
Mhh. That's only half of the way. We should also find a way to set a default
face for a user. The problem might be, that the image must be named according to
the user name. For the livecd it's eg: /usr/share/apps/kdm/faces/fedora.face.icon.

Comment 3 Kevin Kofler 2007-05-10 20:07:43 UTC
Hey, one thing at a time, let's fix the unowned directory and enable the user 
list (Bug 239701) first and worry about default images once that's done.

And that's assuming we even want a non-blank default userimage. ;-)

Ok. We could worry about that later. Or just choose a face for
/usr/share/apps/kdm/faces/.default.face.icon. :)

Comment 5 Kevin Kofler 2007-05-10 20:27:16 UTC
I guess putting the same image there which is the default in GDM would work.

Comment 6 Kevin Kofler 2007-05-10 20:38:59 UTC
Or we can just symlink one of the "default" images already provided by KDM:
/usr/share/apps/kdm/pics/users/default1.png
/usr/share/apps/kdm/pics/users/default2.png
/usr/share/apps/kdm/pics/users/default3.png
which would make it another trivial fix, except for picking one.

Comment 7 Kevin Kofler 2007-05-11 19:52:19 UTC
Attachment #154550 [details] from bug #239701 shows how these look in context after the 
patches from that bug have been applied (testuser1 is using default1, testuser2 
is using default2 and testuser3 is using default3).

Comment 8 Than Ngo 2007-05-15 15:29:43 UTC
it's now fixed in kdebase-3.5.6-7.fc7.
