Alright, I believe the issue is with the fact that the avatar gallery is coded to always look for avatars in the system `/usr/share` dir as opposed to adjusting to testing conditions and using the local `/usr/share` dir. `sudo cp -r kde/usr/share/user-manager/avatars/photos/ /usr/share/user-manager/avatars/` And now they show up, despite using the locally installed user-manager. If we used the workflow where kdesrc-build installs directly to system the patch //should// work and consequently IRL as well.
