From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030120 Description of problem: The Main Menu->System Settings->Login Screen field only uses the "gnome-gdmsetup.desktop" link/file instead of "kde-kdm.desktop" when /etc/sysconfig/desktop is equal to "KDE". Note: you can get to the KDM configuration from under the Kcontrol panel- but since the name "Login Screen" is nondescript, a KDE user may assume it will launch KDM. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kdebase-3.1-0.14, redhat-menus-0.33-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Choose Main Menu->System Settings->Login Screen 2. 3. Actual Results: GDMsetup Expected Results: KDM config using kde-kdm.desktop: Exec=kcmshell System/kdm Additional info:
If you change the *dm, you're basically on your own. Making the .desktop file a "symlink" causes some problems, such as making StartupNotify=true in the .desktop file break. I don't want to propagate htmlview-style hacks. If we eventually do a real framework for selecting "preferred applications" then it would cover this, but in the meantime I don't expect to address the issue. So closing as a standalone bug, but if we do a preferred applications framework that spans gnome/kde we would address it in that context (and also the email/office/web apps that are on the panel by default, etc. would be easy to change) Thanks
