Any news? Can I ship this (simplified) version of the original request?

That however does not make much sense, all this applet does is writing the image to ~/.face.icon, which the user can do manually anyway. The fact that KDM might or might not actually display this image in the user selection is unrelated, as KDM is not even the only user of this file: Plasma Kickoff displays it, and maybe more apps use it (GDM uses a different file, though)

It does not fall back to the system default if the user image does not exist, as Plasma Kickoff does not do that either. The patch also adds a button in the "Change face" dialogue to remove the user image, to make it possible to go back to the default state again.
