KDE: how to remove the stupid dragon: HOORAY!
There are various "kde-sdscreen" RPM's floating around to change the shutdown window image. All they do is replace "shutdownkonq.png". The RPM I downloaded would have put it here: /usr/X11R6/share/apps/ksmserver/pics/shutdownkonq.png but on Mandrake I found the little bastard here: /usr/share/apps/ksmserver/pics/shutdownkonq.png And I overwrote him with a 1x1 pixel transparent PNG. It worked! P.S. while googling I found this in the mailing list archive of another LUG: "My deskpot completely freezed, couldn't even do Ctrl+Alt+Del. so I turn the power off." "Deskpot". I'm sure there's a novel user interface idea in there somewhere. -- Glyn Webster ~ Simplicity Himself. ~ glyn(a)wave.co.nz ~ http://tiddly-pom.com

Ah that's it - can even be changed at runtime. All a question of looking for the right KDE app... :) Volker -- Volker Kuhlmann is possibly list0570 with the domain in header http://volker.dnsalias.net/ Please do not CC list postings to me.

Sorry about earlier attempts, I misread your question then went off in a wild tangent trying to solve the wrong problem :) Do you mind wiki'ing the answer somewhere? - -- I just had a NOSE JOB!! -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Only when you are sure they have you, can you stop being paranoid iD8DBQE/UW8PcAgRpy8z8UQRAgl3AJ9IUs4S5qPFheqaFm1Kw3Y6jHHckwCg3wjc Xz3U3clyDdTX1iONRU1hX5o= =PPNs -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
