kdm-theme manager administration mode button missing

[Daedalus]

Steps:
- install kdmtheme (KDM Theme Manager)
- Go to System Settings - Appearance - KDM Theme Manager

Administrator access is required, but there is no "Administrator Mode" button!!

I can confirm this. How disappointing. I can see the durn themes and can't get to them! No admin button, true.

I also have exactly the same problem, I thought maybe I hadn't installed something properly.? Anyone know of a fix or work around?

[Gabriel (vigoexiste)]

Workarround: run kcontrol. There's such a button there :-)

Same problem here, though.

[3vi1 (launchpad-net-eternaldusk)]

I can confirm the bug here too - Feisty beta 1.

[3vi1 (launchpad-net-eternaldusk)]

I don't see an equivalent management section in kcontrol - the themes in the appearance section there appear to be related to color control. This is a pretty big UI bug, imho.

Thanks gabriel ! that works for now :D

confirmed

[Marco Cimmino (cimmo)]

and confirmed for Feisty final, button is in kcontrol but not in kde-guidance

[Marco Cimmino (cimmo)]

is this really a bug in kde-theme? Think that kde-guidance is the right package!

[Freddy Martinez (freddymartinez9)]

I still see this on Feisty Stable.

[Sebastian Kügler (sebasje)]

This has nothing to do with guidance, guidance is only some modules, mount-, service-, user-, wine- and displayconfig (and powermanager, but that's not a KCM)

[Marco Cimmino (cimmo)]

sebas:
so where is the package involved? I mean all system settings menu is in what package?

[Richie Ward (richies)]

I see this bug too but nobody has been assigned to fix it?!?!?

[douglas_smith (hamsterzombie-deactivatedaccount)]

Bug confirmed in both x86 and AMD64 Feisty installs. Use of kcontrol allows admin privileges as posted earlier. 3viL, kdmtheme is installed in kcontrol under System Administration>KDM Theme Manager, not under Appearance and Themes.

[Freddy Martinez (freddymartinez9)]

Still present in KDE 3.5.7

[Marco Cimmino (cimmo)]

still present under Feisty+kde 3.5.7 packages

[Juan Carlos Torres (jucato)]

This bug is still present in Gutsy, KDE 3.5.7 as of August 22, 2007. I recall Tonio_ was looking into this bug before Feisty was released. I don't know what has happened since.

[Anthony Mercatante (tonio)]

Now fixed in Gutsy.
