Package: kdm
Version: 3.3.2-1sarge1
Severity: minor

The Greeter of kdm should show a list of users who may log in.
It did not do so for me,  I attach a copy of the file /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc as 
it was. (It is now called kdmrc.bu .)

The sub-window which should have shown user names (and possibly some pictures) 
was empty,  and narrow.

I tried using
$  man kdm
but that did not work.
I tried installing doc-linux-html  (version 2005.04-1),  that did not help 
either.

So I changed two lines in the file /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc as folllows:
change from:
SelectedUsers=
ShowUsers=NotHidden

to :
SelectedUsers=rb,guest
ShowUsers=Selected
.
This works alright,  but now I have to alter the file kdmrc whenever I add a 
new user.

Best regards
Richard Betham
