[SOLVED]How to get a background in kdm?
I installed kdeartwork-wallpapers at the same time as kde and still nothing.
Is there any fix for this?

Well obviously instaling the wallpapers per se doesnt make it work.

It works for some people:

Or I may be totally misunderstanding what 'background in kdm' means.

Could you elaborate a little? I don't have KDE installed anymore, but (IIRC) you set the background either through a right click menu that pops up when you click on the desktop, or through the Systems Setting window. The wallpapers should show up in a dialog, along with an option to add a background from a jpg file.
So, what does nothing mean? Are the wallpapers not showing up in the appearance dialog? Can you select them, but they don't work, or is the dialog 404? Or something else?

My bad, i installed kdeartwork-wallpapers and not kde-wallpapers. It's fixed now
What i mean with no background is that...well, no background, just the "type useaname and pw window" with a black background, same as desktop background, all black.
