Description Ricardo Cornet 2011-02-03 17:41:42 UTC 
Among other things if used as normal user, it does not remember the recently used root password used to set using themes in the first tab.

If I select a theme intalled by the default installation, the theme in KDM remains the default, even after reboot. removing the suse branding and installing upstream kdm does not solve the problem.

When I try to intall a downloaded and working theme, it ask again for root password and installs, but even if selected and applied (asking again for the root password), the theme remains the default (in this case the upstream branding).

And when exiting the session, the default theme remains.

But it waits for ~10 seconds before displaying it. Like if there something wrong and restores the default.

Ahh, something else.

When I try this as root. The "login screen" component crashes.

Unfortunately this is a long standing issue.

Yeah, this does not work on 11.3 either.

But I had no idea this was an opensuse issue since 2007!!

Kubuntu had this working right, but their KDE integration usually sucks.

How is this possible in a distro that boast KDE as de-facto Desktop Environment?
