[Bug 148706] Re: kdmtheme module can not apply changes

[JW]

This is exactly the problem I'm having that I reported here (sorry for
the duplicate):  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kcontrol-
kdmtheme/+bug/157086

I also tried editing my "/etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc" and I was then able to get
the kdm themes to work.  Without doing that, no love.  Here are my 20'
and 30' default settings files from /etc/default/kdm.d

$ cat 20_kubuntu_default_settings
USETHEME="true"
THEME="/usr/share/apps/kdm/themes/kubuntu"
USEBACKGROUND="true"
WALLPAPER="/usr/share/wallpapers/kubuntu-wallpaper.png"
USESYSTEMLOCALE="true"

$ cat 30_kubuntu_default_settings
THEME="/usr/share/apps/kdm/themes/Human"
USEBACKGROUND="true"
USESYSTEMLOCALE="true"
USETHEME="true"
WALLPAPER="/usr/share/wallpapers/kubuntu-wallpaper.png"

I also tried sudo kcmshell kdmtheme and here are the results:

$ sudo kcmshell kdmtheme
Error: "/var/tmp/kdecache-jwheaton" is owned by uid 1000 instead of uid 0.
