Login screen user colors

Hi,

I'm running SuSE 10.0.
Now I noticed that at the login screen,
(looks like this one: http://www.madpenguin.org/images/rev...se10/login.jpg) that I can see all the normal users that can login to KDE.
But some of them are different colors. 5 users are blue, 1 is grey and 1 is green. (I mean the little man before the username as you can see in the image.)
What does this mean?

Anyone?

I did some research on this and found that it seems to be random. According to kdmrc, the default icon is found in /opt/kde3/share/apps/kdm/faces/.default.face.icon. However, there is another file called .randomlist with the following content:

Code:

User-blue
User-purple
User-red
User-green

I guess unless you specify a certain user icon, you will get this random distribution of colors.

So maybe I can play around with these files?
I will look into it this evening.
Thanks

The easiest way to change this icon/picture is from the KDE Control Center -> System Administration -> Login manager -> Users
