HOWTO: Kubuntu: restore original KDE login manager (KDM)

[mendieta]

If you have, as in my case, a customized KDE login manager, you may want to use it, instead of using Kubuntu's (excellent) theme.

All you need to do is to set a line UseTheme=false in the file /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc. That's it :cool:

Here is one way to do it. Type [alt]+[F2], to launch the "Run Command" dialog. Then type:

Finally, set the line:

Save the file, logout from KDE and Voila !
:-D

Enjoy!,

A good tip, but personally I prefer to use the KDM Theme Manager. It's available from http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=22120 , and very conveniently includes an Ubuntu deb.
