Wasn't the contention of the OP that someone had patched KDM so that
keyword would be ignored no matter what you set it to ?
Exactly. And where I get annoyed in this whole conversation is not that
I want to log in as root - I haven't even tried to do that in years. But
the option has been there, should I feel I need it and am prepared to
accept the consequences of my actions. This latest move has removed that
option - according to the OP - and THAT'S what annoys me.
And as I did say in this thread. I don't see any action by our KDE team
to this effect. Ok, I only scanned over the patches, but I read the
changelog and I saw no sign of anyone patching KDM to ignore it.
So be annoyed with KDE upstream for this change, not with our KDE
maintainers.
Of course if someone does find a patch on our side, that does it, feel
free to correct me.
