Er, yes they were. You had to uncomment and cmment to lines in one of
your startup files for files for kdm. The reason you can't change it is
a bug in KDE 2.0 that is fixed in 2.01...by the comments in the file, you
can actually see mandrake deliberately don't use the KDM login background.
But I can't remember what the file is .... I just know after modifying it
ages ago, and upgrading to 2.01, it works now.
