Bug Description

Binary package hint: kdm

I use Kubuntu Dapper on a Fujitsu Tablet PC. In order to be able to login I have to start xvkbd from /etc/kde3/kdm/Xsetup.
With the kubuntu kdm theme half of the time programs started from this file are overlayed by the blue background color (even the dummy xterm entry already in the file). With the default kdm theme there is no such problem.

Thank you for filing this bug.

Edgy and Feisty have a new kdm theme. Does this problem still occur with edgy?

I've upgraded to edgy in the meanwhile and the problem is still there, but it does not happen this often. From six times I've tested it happend two times.
But the problem is still there...

Could you try with some different themes and post back which ones have the problem?

Hi again!
I've installed the kde-kdm-themes packet to have more themes to test with (I hope this was what you wanted to suggest :))
And finally I can say the problem happens with ALL themes I've tested. This includes
- circles
- Krystal
- kubuntu
- Linux Passion

So this seems to be a bug with KDMs theme support...
