Description Daniel Hahler 2010-02-09 19:57:36 UTC
Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

If there's an invalid value for "Theme" in e.g. /etc/kde4/kdm/kdmrc, kdm fails to start with an error "$THEMEPATH cannot get opened".
The dialog only has a "OK" button, and when accepting the dialog, kdm quits.

Instead, kdm should fallback to using no theme (like with an empty "Theme" setting).

This currently affects Kubuntu Lucid users (see https://launchpad.net/bugs/517803).
