hi,

The exact message is "Override files found, so this theming will not have 
effect. Please see /usr/share/doc/kdm/README.Debian for more information"

kdm README.Debian mentions:
You just need to create a file with overridden value(s) and put it in
kdm override directory (default is /etc/default/kdm.d).

There's no mention of desktop-base and /etc/default/kdm.d/10_desktop-base 
because the KDM overrides are not specific to them. The purpose of this 
change is a generic way to customize kdm for Debian and Custom Debian 
Distribution (debian-edu, etc ...)

I'm open for suggestion to improve the popup message.

I can introduce a note in /usr/share/doc/kdmtheme/README.Debian, but i don't 
see the point as kdmtheme depends on kdm and we suggest to look 
at /usr/share/doc/kdm/README.Debian.

> I file this bug in kdmtheme, but it can be reported too for gdm and xfce4.

?? i don't understand. It is related to kdm theme override, so packages 
related to kdm. I don't see where gdm or xfce4 are involved.

cheers,

Fathi
