Hello, I believe I have solved this bug. (Using Archlinux but it should of course be applicable to any distro).
I have edited my /usr/bin/startkde and I believe that accordingly one should patch startkde.cmake in the kde-workspace source tarball. You have to comment lines 32, 33, 34 ie: if test -z "$XDM_MANAGED" || echo "$XDM_MANAGED" | grep ",auto" > /dev/null; then xsetroot -solid "#000000" fi Also attaching a patch to kde-workspace-4.7.0. I do not believe this has any implications however maybe some corner case could need it, so I do not know if the patch is "upstream-able". :) ** Patch added: "kdm-plymouth-autologin.patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdebase-workspace/+bug/553567/+attachment/2292900/+files/kdm-plymouth-autologin.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kdebase-workspace in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/553567 Title: transition from plymouth to kdm not smooth To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdebase-workspace/+bug/553567/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
