Package: kdm
Version: 4:3.5.5a.dfsg.1-6
Severity: minor
If you go into KDE's control centre --> System Admin --> Login Manager:
click the 'Users' tab and turn on 'Sort Users' for the KDM graphical
login, this will configure the alphabetical sort of users in the KDM
login list.
On a rather vanilla install of Etch RC2, KDM doesn't appear to be
respecting this setting, placing the user 'sheridan' before 'root'.
No amount of setting manipulation makes an impact in the KDM config
file. In fact, I copied the config file over to my Etch desktop (which
is a 7 month old upgrade from Sarge) the same version of KDM respects
this and sorts the list so 'root' comes before 'sheridan'
I checked the passwd files in case that KDM wasn't looking at this
setting at all, however, in both files the root entry comes before the
'sheridan' user entry.
