Can the developers please fix this bug. How can a workaround still exist
without any comments from the developers on the status of the problem
currently. Right now i have had to shift my linux os due to this issue
as all i get is the ugliest plymount screen seen in the history of
kubuntu.

Same problem here:
I installed a vanila Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04 and updated everything using
apt-get.
Then I installed KDE and up to this point, everything works normal.
Then I downloaded a couple of login screen themes and switched my default theme
with one of those.
The workaround does not work on all graphic cards, especially not on laptop. So
it isn't a workaround!!
How can we promote kubuntu when showing a bootscreen from the early '90?
The fix has help a little bit, but there is still lot of work to do!

Marco's procedure is actually incomplete. You shoud also add set

gfxmode=${GRUB_GFXMODE} and run update-grub. You may also have to
unblacklist vesafb and rebuild your initramfs.

Exactly, the open drivers provide a proper resoulution framebuffer to
the kernel that is used for the splash (using kernel mode setting I
think), as the proprietary nvidia drivers are unable to do so vga16fb is
used instead to provide the framebuffer, but that gives a 640x480 16
