Bug#292401: kdm_config override /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc which is a conffile
Package: kdm
Version: 4:3.3.1-4
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 10.7.3
Hello KDE maintainers,
kcontrol overwrite the conffile /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc without
respecting comment and formating. For example if you start with the
file provided in the current kdm package, launch kcontrol,
choose Login manager->Administrator Mode,make a change, cancel it
and it apply, you get a complelty different file /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc,
see patch below.
This means dpkg conffiles handling is useless here since you cannot
merge the changes.
Cheers,
Bill

-# KDM master configuration file
-#
-# Definition: the greeter is the login dialog, i.e., the part of KDM
-# which the user sees.
-#
-# You can configure every X-display individually.
-# Every display has a display name, which consists of a host name
-# (which is empty for local displays specified in the Xservers file),
-# a colon and a display number. Additionally, a display belongs to a
-# display class (which can be ignored in most cases; the control center
-# does not support this feature at all).
-# Sections with display-specific settings have the formal syntax
-# "[X-" host [":" number [ "_" class ]] "-" sub-section "]"
-# You can use the "*" wildcard for host, number and class. You may omit
-# trailing components; they are assumed to be "*" then.
-# The host part may be a domain specification like ".inf.tu-dresden.de".
-# From which section a setting is actually taken is determined by these
-# rules:
-# - an exact match takes precedence over a partial match (for the host part),
-# which in turn takes precedence over a wildcard
-# - precedence decreases from left to right for equally exact matches
-# Example: display name "myhost:0", class "dpy".
-# [X-myhost:0_dpy] precedes
-# [X-myhost:0_*] (same as [X-myhost:0]) precedes
-# [X-myhost:*_dpy] precedes
-# [X-myhost:*_*] (same as [X-myhost]) precedes
-# [X-*:0_dpy] precedes
-# [X-*:0_*] (same as [X-*:0]) precedes
-# [X-*:*_*] (same as [X-*])
-# These sections do NOT match this display:
-# [X-hishost], [X-myhost:0_dec], [X-*:1], [X-:*]
-# If a setting is not found in any matching section, the default is used.
-#
-# Every comment applies to the following section or key. Note that all
-# comments will be lost if you change this file with the kcontrol frontend.
-# The defaults refer to KDM's built-in values, not anything set in this file.
