Package: kdm
Version: 4:3.5.9.dfsg.1-5
Severity: important

kdm does not read (or may be ignore) settings from /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc 
and in the same time Loging Manager from Control center writes settings 
there. 

To reproduce this bug one shoud.

1. Install and login KDE (3.5)
2. Go to K Menu / Control Center / System Administration / Login Manager
3. Enter Administrator Mode
4. Change Greeting to, for example 'New Welcome to Debian at %n'
5. Press Apply
6. Make sure, this option were saved in /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc: 
$ grep GreetString  /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc
7. Restart X Server (Ctrl+Alt+Backspase)
8. See no changes in greet string

As far as I can understand all the settings from /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc are 
ignored. Whis bug can be workarounded by manually changing 
/var/run/kdm/kdmrc, but less exprienced users would not be able to find this
 workaround... :-/

Hi,

Good to know the original problem has been fixed. The remaining problems are 
already known to upstream and are to be fixed in KDE SC 4.4/4.5.
