[SWLUG] KDE 3.4 Login Manager

[Stephen Constantinou]

Dear All

I  have just reinstalled Mandriva 2006.  During installation I set up 
this non duel boot computer to default to Linux after ten seconds and 
then to automatically log into KDE the only user.  It worked OK.

I got too bold and adventurous from here on.

I wanted to change the "End Sessions" options to include an icon login 
for root and the user (whereby I would have clicked an Icon for either 
and then entered a password) and buttons to reboot and shutdown.  I 
fiddled and made things worse.  Now the only "End Sessions" option I am 
presented with is to "End Current Session" or "Cancel".

But worse, now when I restart I do not get automatically logged as a 
user and I have to enter the user and password.

I have tried to retrace my steps in Control Center, KDE's Session 
Manager and Login Manager.  I have read the KDE Session Manager help 
file and the KDE Login Manager Help file.  The later makes references to 
options on the Users tab which I cannot find.

"You may disable the user list in kdm entirely in the Show Users 
section. You can choose from:
None........................
Only show users you have specifically enabled.......
Not hidden.............."

These sound relevant but I cannot find this section and options on the 
User tab.  However at this tab I did press defaults.  Though this did 
not help.

The printed manual do not cover this subject either.

Any help appreciated
