Description:
KDM background doesn't scale well in 16:9 resolutions. This bug has been reported to the KDE team - https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=169772 As it can be read in the previous link, the proposed solution has been submitted for the next KDE release. Thus, the below solution should only be needed until KDE 4.3 is realeased.

Solution:
Apply this patch http://bugsfiles.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=28129

Additional info:
* package name: kdebase-workspace

* affected file: /usr/share/apps/kdm/themes/oxygen/oxygen.xml


Steps to reproduce:
Using the default theme, Oxygen, just enter in KDM on a 16:9 resolution (like mine, 1920x1080 - Full HD) and you'll see the background doesn't scale horizontally.
This task depends upon

Sorry mates, but the problem persists. Thus, the patch must be applied in order to sort it out.

Best regards! :-)

This is not really a critical bug and those who want it to be fixed can just patch the file locally. (no recompile needed as its just an xml file). The upstream bug is still open and that seems not to be the final patch.
