I can't say much about GDM, other than that it was completely rewritten and 
appears to not use themes at all.

For KDM, the documentation for creating themes for the KDE 4 version is here:
http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kdebase-workspace/kdm/kdm-themes.html
and the referenced DTD is there:
http://websvn.kde.org/branches/KDE/4.0/kdebase/workspace/kdm/kfrontend/themes/greeter.dtd?revision=757128&view=markup

Unfortunately, there was essentially no documentation at all for the KDE 3 KDM 
themes, so it isn't easy to see what changed from that documentation. The way I 
ported the F7 and F8 GDM themes to KDM was that I looked at other themes and 
copied what they used.

What are the major change? It would be nice if you listed the features changed
from these desktop managers.

Oh great, KDE 4 did some incompatible KDM theme syntax changes in part to be 
more compatible with GDM themes (see e.g. 
http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=743596 ), and now GDM gets rewritten 
throwing their theme syntax out entirely. :-( Don't you love inter-project 
communication? :-(

Fun... Something tells me we'll have to ship F9 with the default 
upstream "circles" theme... (We can't even use the old Fedora themes without 
porting them because KDE 4 KDM doesn't accept KDE 3 KDM themes.)

To anyone working on this: be warned that both GDM and KDM changed 
significantly between F8 and F9, so please don't design against the F8 
versions.


Atleast for GDM, there is no requirement for any separate theme under 
the new design IIUC.

KDE SIG probably would have to do its own thing.
