SDDM: disableAvatarsThreshold should not be used to replace list with a text box
These lines of code are responsible for handling disableAvatarsThreshold
property in Plasma/Breeze SDDM theme:
However, this is wrong on two levels.
- The
disableAvatarsThreshold
configuration option (at least according to the fallback theme) should be used to NOT load avatar images when count of users on a system is beyond a certain threshold. But Plasma/Breeze theme just switches to textbox mode altogether, which is really unexpected. - Docs are a bit inconsistent with default value in
/usr/lib/sddm/sddm.conf.d/default.conf
and observations, butEnableAvatars=true/false
option seems to be designed to overridedisableAvatarsThreshold
but is "unset" by default (despite being present in "default.conf" in /usr/lib).
