Description Jackson Williams 2010-01-06 01:05:36 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.3.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

To reproduce: 
    - Open System Settings -> About Me
    - Click user image
    - Error message saying "Your administrator has disallowed changing your image."

To fix:
    - Open System Settings -> Login Manager -> Users tab
    - Change "User Image Source" from "System" to "User, system"

Expected behavior:
    - Default should be "User, system," not "System"

Usecases where an administrator wants to restrict ability of users to alter their image are uncommon.  "System" would probably only be used in large deployments like schools or enterprise settings.

I can confirm this. Using KDE 4.3.85 (r1067626).
