IMPORTANT:
use this splashscreen combined with the
kdm-theme 'login-scan 'fusion''
can be found at
http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=26718
to change the background-pic:
open '.../login-scan-splash/background_transparent.png' and add any picture you like as background an save as '.../login-scan-splash/Background.png.
this will change the splash to any style you like!
Thanks go to scream for development on 'fingerprint' & to moodwrod for 'fingerprint' itself (:
enjoy!

on the screenshots it looked really great,
i thought it would be a great login experience for my fully encrypted system hehe ;)
but after installing login-splash and login-fusion, i get a white screen, and partially no background in between both login-*. do they should flawlessly work together w/o noticing that they are represented by 2 different programms?
and the splashscreen shows no background at all, kinda strange.
any ideas? :=)
so long...

As far as I know, MS fonts are not included by default in any Linux distro (nor I think they should be, even so-called "free" ones that are in fact the only ones that legally can be included), and there are people (I for one) who would rather choose not to use (and therefore associate themselves with) anything that can be in any way linked to MS, even if it's just an apparently insignificant little thing like fonts.
Kudos to Airyk for the fix, I do believe not everyone shares my thoughts on the use of MS stuff and will therefore benefit from the proposed solution, but may I at the same time appeal to the author to elect not to use MS fonts as default ones for his otherwise fine work, not only because of the Anti-MS rhetoric, but also because such choice apparently causes trouble for the majority of potential users who, chances are, do not have the required fonts installed.
Besides, one should always be extra careful in such matters, the Trebuchet situation can be relatively easy to solve because Trebuchet is one of the "free" MS fonts, but imagine if by accident one of the proprietary MS fonts, like Tahoma, was used?

I modified the theme config file, namely Theme.rc, in my case found in /home/milos/.kde/share/apps/ksplash/Themes/login-scan-splash, and what I changed is the Label2 entry. Not knowing how to enter the space, I have simply changed the label coordinates, the parameter LabelCoords2 now having a value of 400,641 while the LabelCoords1 was left with the default 270,641. This is how the Theme.rc file looks now:
[KSplash Theme: login-scan-splash]
Name = login-scan 'splash'
Description = splash for kdm-theme 'login-scan 'fusion''
Version = 0.2
Author = rokkford
Homepage = http://www.rokkford.de
Engine = Moodin
BeginOpacity = 0.0
BaseResolution = 1280,1024
Background = Background.png
UseIconSet = false
ImageCoords1 = 682,285
ImageCoords2 = 682,138
ImageCoords3 = 805,239
ImageCoords4 = 805,94
ImageCoords5 = 928,314
ImageCoords6 = 925,170
ImageCoords7 = 1122,472
ImageCoords8 = 249,418
Labels = 2
Label1 = Validating:
LabelFont1 = Trebuchet MS,18,-1,5,50,0
LabelCoords1 = 270,641
Label2 = ML:USER:loginname
LabelFont2 = Trebuchet MS,18,-1,5,50,0
LabelCoords2 = 400,641
StatusCoords = 270,804
StatusFont = Trebuchet MS,12,-1,5,50,0
Now, there probably exists a better, more refined solution, but this one worked fine for me, and while I suspect the exact same values will not work for every system out there, I guess a bit of trial-and-error will result in the values that will produce the desired effect. When I log in now, it quite nicely spells validating: milos

it's all generated by your local language settings.

I ask because I see two different versions. If xinerama is enabled I see: 'validating: #username#'
and if it is disabled I see: 'validating:#username#'
Oh and there's one more difference. If xinerame is enable the images 'faded in' are not transparent. Instead they have a black background (which is the background colour of kdm btw). If xinerama is disabled, then the background is transparent.
What I have described above is only true for my desktop running the 'fglrx' driver. On my laptop (i810) it does not matter if xinerama is enabled or not. It's always: 'valditating: #username#' and the images are transparent, too.
I use the same linux distros on both system, same versions of kde, moodin, login-scan-[splash|fusion]
