[Bug 227904] Re: KDE4 login screen is missing background (regression: 4.0.4)

[hara]

based on flacid's report, here is a dirty trick to get the screen work.

create the following file

sudo touch /usr/lib/kde4/bin/preloadkde

#include the following code in the file

#!/bin/bash
sleep 1
chvt 1
sleep 0.005
chvt 7

then change permissions

sudo chmod a+x /usr/lib/kde4/bin/preloadkde

thats it next time you log in you should find the background. or else
play around with the numbersw in the code.

check the "/usr/lib/kde4/etc/kde4/kdm/kdmrc" file to know why it works.
I think this might not work whenyou logout.

As I said its a dirty trick. But if it will be fixed in kde 4.0.5 as
Jonathan says and if that is soon enough I am willing to wait and use
this dirty trick.
