For now, I simply edited kdmrc and set UseTheme to false. |

Still haven't figured out how to use System Settings, Advanced, Login |
20 |
Manager. Can't get anything to be enabled for editing. I've tried: |
21 |
|
22 |
* chmod -R 755 the config directories (/usr/share/config & |
23 |
/usr/kde/4.2/share/config) |
24 |
|
25 |
* reset the config files with: genkdmconf --no-old |
26 |
|
27 |
The ownership of the conf files is root:root, so am thinking the |
28 |
permissions should be 775, but I've found multiple sources that state |
29 |
the perms should be 755, which would make since if I had an Admin button |
30 |
like they refer to. Maybe a sudo setup or something... |

Thank you, |
