I second this. There are bugz to be fixed before spending time for cosmetics, 
or please do it in a separate package...

And more : the default action for ENTER KEY is the REBOOT icon !

i agree, nice attempt anyhow, but that's really ugly looking!!! If MDK 
is willing to customize the login manager should think about making it 
much better than the stock KDE or gnome ones... come on!!

Yeah give us the standard one back, it looks, and functions way better.

[long .sig snipped]

I really feel Mandrake should reconsider this. 
Not only does the whole thing look amateurish (using 2 steps, bad gui)
but it makes the system harder to configure for me (cannot configure
anymore from kde). Please use either gdm or kdm, but pick a
decent mature option.

/start rant
Please don't tell me you will be solve the configuration problem by
providing one of these taking 30+ seconds to start and badly 
behaving (e.g. no transparent cut and paste, width does not fit title 
width etc. etc.) Mandrake control modules.
/end rant

Thx,

John
