Description russell 2005-06-20 19:05:46 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.0)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

When using kdm as the login manager for a kiosk environment it would be very useful to be able (in kdmrc) to disable the "Menu" button and have kdm just fire up the default session (startkde obviously!).

Speaking of default sessions.... kdm 3.2 upwards doesn't seem to have a default session setting for first time users. Could we have that too please?

the menu button disappears when everything from the menu is gone. you can remove all session types but one and disable the remaining actions in the menu. see the manual for details. ;)

the default session for new users should be default (surprise surprise :), which should result in kde for kde installations from upstream source. doesn't it work?
Comment 2 Oswald Buddenhagen 2005-07-09 19:22:57 UTC
ok, in a thread on kde-kiosk we established that the menu cannot go away (any more), as the "switch user" item just won't go away.
now the (unanswered) question was, whether we want to
- add an explicit option to disable user switching
- auto-hide the item when only one session is running (no other x displays, no tty logins)
- keep things as is

KDM is unmaintained and not used in KDE Plasma 5.

SDDM is the login manager used in KDE Plasma 5. If you still have this same issue with SDDM, please file an issue on the SDDM bugtracker (after doing a search for existing issues first!): https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/
