[Bug 601536] [NEW] KDE 4.5 RC: Login Manager forgets user name

[David Nemeskey]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kdm

I am using Kubuntu, and recently I have upgraded to the KDE 4.5 RC
packages (http://www.kubuntu.org/node/157). Aside from the upgrade
procedure being a total, albeit not luckily once-in-a-lifetime disaster,
there are some bugs that can be reproduced easily. This is one of them.

Before the update, kdm remembered the last successfully logged in user
(me), and I only had to enter my password to log in. This is not the
case anymore: I have to type in my user name as well. I am not ignorant
to the existance of the new "Convenience" tab in the Login Manager page
of System Settings; however, even though the Preselect User is set to
Previous, the behavior remains the same (Actually, I think it had been
already set to Previous when I checked it the first time.)

Screenshot attached.
