Hello: This Bill Silagi sending you the mail again because it got messed up during editing (AOL mail)

Hello: My name Bill Silagi
and I have questions about Theme xml file. I have different distros
(MEPIS, PClinuxOS, Mandriva, Suse, Fedora) installed on my PC and all
use KDE. I tried to change the login screen (greetings) and this


lead me to Theme file with it associated xml file. I know little about xml and looking around got your file "Detailed 
Description of Theme XML
format" . Now I roughly I knew how it works and started to play with it.
Modified it and logging out and back again I could see the results (some
time lock up). Since I am a technical person it left me with many
questions. How this file gets interpreted and with what program to get
the login screen ?.? I know XML file can not be displayed alone eve in
the browser it needs some kind of style sheet or whatever . I know kdm
file is called at start up it uses the kdmrc file but it must be a
program inside kdm which interprets ( and how does it ?) this xml file
to get the login screen. It would be nice to know this program so one?
could experiment with the xml file without logging? out and in again.
How the KDE people test the kdm file do they log out and in again ?.?
Is a way to display this xml file in a browser using some kind of style
sheet ?? I contacted your XML expert? but his opinion was this is KDE
related and he does not know to much about KDE. Did I missed something on
the KDE site or I looked in the wrong place ?. I would appreciate if you give me the right direction I know it would help other people also.
