Hi all, 
	I am hoping that someone has a solution for my problem. When i installed 
KDE-2.1.1 (from redhat rpms) i was already using helix gdm as my display 
manager/login. I liked the new functionality of the 2.1.1 kdm so i unstalled 
gdm and now use kdm. My only problem is that either using Control Centre or 
manually (with editor) i cannot get a background with my login screen, all i 
get is the black and white cross-hatching (like from the XFree86 - configure 
tool). I have re-installed kde-base with the replacefiles option incase my 
using gdm had left something in the system but that has not helped. also 
manually checking the file that Control Centre writes to(/etc/X11/xdm/kdmrc) 
i can see the changes being entered but not being used( i can even delete 
this file and kdm still starts fine). i think it is probably a permission 
problem as i have found the file kdm is reading from and can change all 
manner of options except for the background colour or pixmap.
I am not sure if the problem is from RedHat or my use of gdm or an xserver 
permission issue and was hoping someone had any clue as my searches in 
archives have raised nothing useful( some mention but no method posted even 
though it is marked as fixed).
