Description Mathias Homann 2005-06-03 14:04:46 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.1)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

on SuSE there is a XSession file /opt/kde3/share/apps/kdm/session/admin.desktop which starts YaST2 in fullcreen mode. Since KDE 3.4, kdm ignores this file, seemingly based on its filename; as soon as I rename or copy it to some other name ending in .desktop, the Session type "admin" in KDM is back where it belongs.

suse-specific. they have a special "admin" button to activate this session type. i suppose one can configure it away.
Comment 2 Mathias Homann 2005-06-03 14:56:17 UTC
where is this "admin" button? i dont have an admin button in kdm.

and why is that reason enough to code kdm so that it ignores a session if the .dektop file is named admin.session?
Comment 3 Oswald Buddenhagen 2005-06-03 15:02:28 UTC
you don't understand: this is no problem of kde. kde != suse's kde packages.
i suggest you read the replies twice before you dare to challenge the app maintainer's conclusion.
