Hi, first time on KDE...

I'm a recently adopted M$ orphan using Xandros 4 OS with KDE 3.4.2

Before deciding on Xandros, looked around at the various live CD's of other distros - many using kde. Liked the shutdown screen with Konqi sleeping on the moon

However, quite disappointed that after installing Xandros, the nice dragon has been changed to Xandros' own shutdown screen of three boring blue buttons

When I had a look around, found the image of konqi in this file -

/usr/share/apps/ksmserver/pics

shutdownkonq.png

Now I don't know too much about kde (or Xandros, or Linux yet for that matter.... )

But wondered whether I could get the nice dragon on my shutdown with the coloured buttons?

Does anyone know the path/ syntax or command that controls the shutdown process I could look at?

kind regards

Seastar

Hi Bram,

Thanks for your reply - however...

It's the other way around !!

I have the xandros shutdown screen (blue buttons - boring) ... I WANTED to change it for the default KDE dragon-on-the-moon with coloured shutdown/logout/restart buttons etc that most people have!

The image (which you gave a link to) is ALREADY in my folder, as I mentioned earlier - /usr/share/apps/ksmserver/pics - along with the xandros picture and button .png's

However, I cannot simply rename it to replace the xandros blue/grey picture as the orientation is different. Xandros have a 'landscape' image, konqui is 'portrait'....

I wondered whether any of you clever guys on here would know which command/ files are the ones that operate the shutdown screen process so that I could then perhaps copy the files needed to have the dragon-on-the-moon as my shutdown?

Sorry if I wasn't clear - I did ask this same question on the Xandros forum, and they suggested asking on KDE Forum

Any suggestions?

Many thanks for your time

Hi Bram

thanks for your suggestion... however...

Yes I can find the xandros ones - those .png's are sitting in the same folder as I found the konqi image - /usr/share/apps/ksmserver/pics

Trouble is, I cannot simply rename the xandros image - currently logout_background.png - to 'old' or whatever, and rename the konqi image to logout_background.png as the orientation is different for one thing. Xandros image is 'landscape' - Konqi is 'portrait'.

further, xandros's 3 x buttons are not the same buttons as kde buttons so they wouldn't "fit" on the image even if I could change the orientation...

What I was hoping to find out from this kde forum is where the shutdown 'directions' are stored and perhaps get a copy of those directions/ commands so that I can look in xandros and find my shutdown directions to see where they differ.

Sorry if I'm not explaining this properly...

kindly

Seastar
