Possible issues with KDM

Hi guys,

somebody in the german fedora forum pointed to an issue with kdm. If the 
users starts "systemsettings"->advanced-> login manager, the modul is 
launched, but complaints about not beeing able to create two path:
/usr/share/apps/kdm/themes
/usr/share/apps/kdm/faces
The reason for this is that the folder /usr/share/apps/kdm/ does not exist.

I set up an VM with an fresh fedora installation (+update & kde-testing, 
changed /etc/sysconfig/desktop to KDE) and was able to confirm this 
problem. It might be that either a wrong path is used in the kdm 
configuration module or the rpm should create both folders. Currently an 
user needs to create them on their own. However the path 
/usr/share/kde4/apps/kdm/themes/ and /usr/share/kde4/apps/kdm/faces does 
exist, so I guess it is properly the first one. The problem might effect 
current kde-testing and updates-testing packages. Can anyone confirm this?

I also noticed an second issue with kdm. If the user launchs the same 
configuration module and is closing the windows, the dialog "run as 
root" is shown again asking for a password. Pressing on "cancel" does 
not seems to have an effect, because the same dialog is shown over and 
over again. I just tried to confirm this on current trunk, however I was 
not able to login as system manager. Could it be that the dialog is 
patch from fedora? If yes, somebody should try, if he is able to 
reproduce this also.

That's it. Thanks for your work, everything else seems to running quite 
fine. :)

Best regards,
Florian
