Ken,
First, credit for including the sddm page should be given to you,
because most of what is added there is a result of learning from you.
Thank you very much!!!
Yesterday, I got carried away with the sddm editing. I had
not even "started" the day and it was already afternoon. Was still
tired from the previous marathon day, my sister was here, and "ordered"
me to take a brake. So, I didn't do the intended tasks for the day:
"ended the day without even starting".
didn't reply to your post(s) nor asked you, please, to edit, fix and add
whatever you wanted to the sddm page.
Thanks for the discussions, many of what is there came from them. I
didn't find an easy way to add your issues to the page, and think they
should be there.
More comments, below, in line.

Great theme, great photo!
I used suspend. After restarting, needed to restart the network (I am
using dhcpcd + bind, not for necessity, but frequently need to update
the book):
{{{
/etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart
}}}
Never used suspend before, so, don't know if this is the correct
behaviour. This might be just a upower/pm-suspend issue or default
behaviour.
Now, I am using your theme as my default.
One question: are those icons defaults for some application that you
borrowed, or did you create them?
May be I'm dumb, but I had a little difficult understanding their meanings.
I would like them to be more visible, couldn't find them, first time I
used speckledwood.
Please, don't be upset, I find your theme really great. If I try to do a
theme, surely, will start with yours as base and probably will just
change the points I listed above and replace the photo by one of my
choice, as everybody does.
I thought a lot since you started doing your theme. I have thought about
it also, when included lxdm. Although I prefer logging from runlevel 3,
and use a DM just for development, I would like to have a theme with an
image display BLFS. This could be added to the book, in sddm page and to
the other DMs (including Kde-workspace), if someone provides and the
devs approve.
Please, would you provide one for sddm?
It could be done in several phases, and serve as example for people
trying to provide one for the other DMs:
1. Discussion of the main image.
This is important, someone could just veto it.
For me the butterfly image is very good and approved, for sddm
2. Discussion of the final layout.
Opinions, please?

This is because you probably start without the "&" at the end. Starting
with it, leaves Ctrl-Alt-F' useful.

It worked perfectly here, as I wrote above.
Congratulations!!!!

This part could be improved in the instructions I've included for sddm.

Well, it seemed to work for me (didn't reboot/poweredoff yet).

I only tested without systemd.
