From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9.6) Gecko/20011120 Description of problem: After making changes to customize kdm behavior (such as changing wallpaper) and restarting the X server, kdm flashes the new wallpaper on the screen, then immediately reverts to the default RedHat logo background. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kdebase-2.2.2-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install RH 7.2 2.Upgrade KDE to 2.2.2 3.Customize kdm background wallpaper. 4.Restart X server Actual Results: kdm reverts to default background. Expected Results: kdm should follow the settings in the kdmrc and use the background listed. Additional info:
Examine: /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0
Yes, by modifying /etc/X11/Xsetup_0, I'm able to force the background to whatever I want, however that's not exactly the issue. Upgrading kdebase shouldn't break the prior functionality. It's a bug, albeit a minor one.
