Messed up login screen

[pnuts]

Hi,

When I installed Kubuntu Gutsy Gibbon it had this real nice and shiny login screen. I experimented a bit with other styles and background images but it never really worked and it turned the login window into an ugly grey rectangular thing. And I don't know how to get back the original window style and background... This makes me feel like a total newbie but I searched the whole "Login Screen" panel in the Control Center and pressed Reset Defaults on about any place that was even remotely related to this, but I can't get it back.

Of course this is not terribly important but it just looked way better before...

Can anyone help me with this one?

I was having the same problem. Here is how I fixed it:

kdesudo kate /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc

Look for the section that starts with:

[X-*-Greeter]

Change/Add the lines:

UseTheme=true
Theme=/usr/share/apps/kdm/themes/kubuntu

Then just "ctrl/alt/backspace" to restart kdm and all should be back to normal.
