I think this might be nice to have different plasmoids on the login screen in KDM:
- photoframe
- weather
- networkmanager
- power management (battery monitor for notebooks)
etc

Current parts of login screen (shutdown button, language and session chooser, login/password fields) can be also implemented as plasmoids.

The login screen plasmoids can be configured in the system settings with administrator privileges.

Same thing for session lock screen - currently it is black screen with small window with password prompt in the center - with plasmoids it could look much better.

There is a way you can customize the plasmoids on the lock screen. I don't remember off-hand how, or where it was that I saw it.

@airdrik: It's in the screensaver module (System Settings -> Desktop -> Screen Saver).

Hi, just realized there was a brainstorm posted for this. Yep, great idea etc etc...tis' being worked on. See my blog for details: http://sreich.blogspot.com/

Yeah, I guess I should get around to blogging about it shortly..

Maybe you known, but as far as I known, KDM was deprecated/abandoned and Plasma team now favors SSDM (or SDDM, i don't remember). I think new login manager wouldn't have this feature implemented, because it's maintained outside KDE project and probably devs never agree to integrate it with Plasma.

the login screen shoud not be an app.

login screen is for enter passwd and absolutely noting else.

think of all the viruses which dwell on retarded ideas like this
