Description:
Archlinux KDM themes ("Archlinux Simply Black" and "Archlinux Soft Grey") doesn't work on KDE 4.1 out of the box. When I tried to use "Archlinux Simply Black" I've got an error message on KDM start: "cannot parse theme file /usr/share/apps/kdm/themes/archlinux-simplyblack". I fixed that by renaming theme file "GdmGreeterTheme.desktop" to "KdmGreeterTheme.desktop" and replacing in its content "[GdmGreeterTheme]" with "[KdmGreeterTheme]". It seems that KDM 4.1 changed the naming scheme.

Steps to reproduce:
1. open file "/usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc"
2. set option "UseTheme" to "true" and "Theme" to "/usr/share/apps/kdm/themes/archlinux-simplyblack"
3. run KDM

Steps to fix:
1. replace both theme files "GdmGreeterTheme.desktop" with attached files
   KdmGreeterTheme.desktop (0.2 KiB)
   KdmGreeterTheme.desktop (0.2 KiB)
This task depends upon

Just a status update. I don't use KDE so I've installed a second copy of Arch to VirtualBox and should have this fixed up by tomorrow night.

The same applies to the other archlinux-themes-* packages.

archlinux-themes-kdm 1.2-1 works fine. Thanks!
