Description Marco Clocchiatti 2008-03-17 08:45:30 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 3.5.9KDE 1.2KDE 1.2)
Installed from:    UnspecifiedUnspecifiedUnspecified
Compiler:          any 
OS:                I Don't Know

looking at http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kdebase-workspace/kdm/theme-format.html , the only way to choose desktop envinronment seems to use id="session_button", which beleaves as a list.

I need a single button for each available session. May it be possible to add
this kind of feature?
Comment 1 Oswald Buddenhagen 2008-04-25 20:21:03 UTC 
sure somebody could just reproduce gdm's feature. this doesn't scale particularly well with 30 installed session types, though. also, i find gdm's approach hacky and have no idea how to make it nicer.

With sddm as new default, does this with still apply today?

:)
ten years was lost up today...
now, I think sddm is able to delegate this feature to the qml designer.

Yes, digging up some history :). Can this kdm ticket be closed then?

Regardless, SDDM bugs are tracked at https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/
