From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.4) Gecko/20010917 Description of problem: xsri always sets the background to blue overriding my wallpaper for kdm. I've remove the --color option in /etc/X11/xsrirc and the problem remains. Problem was solved by using xsri from RH 7.1 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Use kdm as login manager 2.Set a tiled wallpaper for kdm using kde control center -> login manager 3.Logout. The wallpaper will appear then get replaced by blue background. Actual Results: The kdm background is always blue. Additional info: xsri from RH 7.1 works however the RedHat login is not as nice.
You have to draw the background with xsri or with kdm; you can't use a mix. (The 7.1 xsri approach will inherently look that bad, and/or have problems like if you switch to another virtual terminal and switch back, then it won't repaint.) For GDM, we set it up so that 'xsri' is configured as the background program in gdmconfig, so to switch to using the GDM standard background, you unset that, and set the background instead. It's possible that the KDM setup could be changed similarly.
We had the same problem with the background for xdm's login window. In Xsetup_0 we set the background to black with xsetroot and use xsri to put up our product name, which it does, and then it immediately sets the backgound to blue. The problem is with xsri 2.1.0 which comes with Red Hat EL ws 3. The problem does not exist in xsri 1.4.0. P.S. to revert to xsri 1.4.0 we also had to install /usr/lib/libImlib.so.1.9.7 and create a symbolic link /usr/lib/libImlib.so.1 -> libImlib.so.1.9.7 (don't forget to run ldconfig after doing this if you are not using rpm. I guess someone ignored the motto "If it aint broke, don't fix it."
Please retry with current version of Fedora Core. Unless you followup on this bug, it will be considered fixed and will be closed at some point... Thank you for your time.
