Upgrade of kdebase-workspace is messing with kdmrc

Hi everyone,

I just want to check, if I am the only one experiencing this issue or if there are others too (or even if I missed an expected behavior here):

Every time the kdebase-workspace package is upgraded (latest upgrade done to version 4.11.5-1), the file /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc gets altered. The lines

#Xaccess=
#BackgroundCfg=

are changed to

Xaccess=/usr/share/config/kdm/Xaccess
BackgroundCfg=/usr/share/config/kdm/backgroundrc

The newly copied kdmrc.pacnew-file contains these lines in their previous, shorter state. Since I have done some customizations to kdmrc, I merge the new changes manually and have to revert this specific change in the original file after every upgrade.

So my questions: Is it just me? Is this a bug? And if it is, should I report it in the Arch-bugtracker or upstream?

Thanks in advance

Torben

Seems to happen to me as well. I just update them and move on.

I would not get to paranoid over it.

# Default is "/usr/share/config/kdm/backgroundrc"
#BackgroundCfg=

has the same effect as

# Default is "/usr/share/config/kdm/backgroundrc"
BackgroundCfg=/usr/share/config/kdm/backgroundrc

I used to change these lines also, until I noticed that not changing them didn't make any difference
