Its been on my very long TODO list for a while now.

Well, actually it is, if you're using a stock, default Fedora setup, because 
kdm doesn't get installed, and there's just one menu item for Login Screen. 
You have to hunt to find the kde control center to get at the kdm config 
component.

This really only becomes an issue when people add the kde-redhat packages, 
which install kdm and force it into use over gdm. But yes, I fully 
understand. I'll get to it eventually.
