For now, I simply edited kdmrc and set UseTheme to false. Still haven't figured out how to use System Settings, Advanced, Login Manager. Can't get anything to be enabled for editing. I've tried: * chmod -R 755 the config directories (/usr/share/config & /usr/kde/4.2/share/config) * reset the config files with: genkdmconf --no-old The ownership of the conf files is root:root, so am thinking the permissions should be 775, but I've found multiple sources that state the perms should be 755, which would make since if I had an Admin button like they refer to. Maybe a sudo setup or something... Thank you, Roy
