Adrian,
I also had a similar "problem". Turns out that it wasn't a problem at all.
KDE2 with Mandrake 7.2 ships with a blank wallpaper. You don't think it's
wallpaper because it's blank. (Why Mandrake/KDE chose to default to blank
wallpaper is another question altogether.) In any event check to see if
that's the case (it's a tab over from the color settings) and set the
wallpaper to none. Your colors/blending/etc. should show up fine.
They were there all along, just behind the blank (a.k.a single colored)
wallpaper.
I hope that helps.
rick.

Subject: [newbie] configuring login screen
another thing not working under 7.2 *sigh*
login as root
using KDE
go to the configuration utility then the logon section
i can change which icons appear in the logon box
i can change the fonts which are used in the logon box
all those save & work fine.
however, i can not change the background.
not the colour
not the blending
nor substitute a jpg image.
it will look as if it took the changes (preview them and all)
but when i restart the background changed do not take effect, other changes
i make will teke effect.
this stuff worked fine in 7.1.
any suggestions?
thanks much
Adrian Smith
