A Look Back and a Look Forwards at KDE 3.3 (KDE.News)

KDE.News introduces this preview of KDE 3.3. "KDM looks better. No, it's not because it's gotten an GDM like makeover. Nor is it because MDM (from KDE-Look.org) has been adopted as the new DM. It's simply because we now have usable user icons now. Yup, you heard correct boys and girls. I said user icons. Courtesy of some kind soul who saw the need and had the talent KDM users now have a variety of faces to choose from in $KDEDIR/share/apps/kdm/pics/users. As an added bonus there's also a simple way to choose those user icons, but we'll get to that when we chat about kcontrol."

Personally, I just take a portrait of each users with a digital camera and use that as
users icons. This is easy, and make users feel at home.
