Thanks - I'll take a look before I resort to hacking the source of KDM. I see 'entrance' is currently masked. The default 3D theme looks pretty impressive cosmetically - but does it have any important functional differences to make it worth looking at. Likewise for GDM? Thinking about it, if I wanted to unclutter the login greeter, I would get rid of the Go/Login button and the clear buttons which I have never needed - after all, I have to use the keyboard to enter my password, so when is reaching for a mouse going to be easier than just pressing return??? I could probably also do away with the shutdown option as well, just by adding a 'shutdown' and 'reboot' user - so I can password protect the options if I want without any obscure display manager configuration settings. So all I want is 'login name' and 'password' entry boxes and the 'session type' menu that was taken away.... I suppose I would have to join the KDE list to figure out what people were thinking here.
