You need to change your KDM theme to the Leonidas theme. You can't change the background of a theme, you can only switch the theme or turn the theming off entirely.

Hm, I am not aware that I have change my theme after upgrade, but I may be wrong. I have changed the theme of kdm. Is this sufficient?

I'm talking about the KDM theme.
Ah, I missed the point. I thought of the backgrount _after_ login not for kdm.
I usually changed the kdmrc file by hand, so the comments are not lost. At my host the kdm ksettings dialog usually removed all commented lines and there are options the kdm config dialog can not change.

right klick on the background and select "settings" (those with the litte tool as icon - I don't know the right name as I am on german view. There it is "Einstellungen zum Erscheinungsbild"). There you can change the background picture. But I missed the leonidas picture the first time as well.

Sure, but that changes the desktop background, which I already knew - although since the leonidas screens are just called 1024x600 I didn't notice them. Unfortunately, I'm still left with a Solar background to the login screen.
Kevin's 'Change the theme' sounds reasonable, but where? The logical place, to me, is in systemsettings > Appearance, but I don't see anything there that helps. The Splash Screen is already leonidas. Next stop, systemsettings > Advanced tab > Desktop Theme Details - no leonidas there.
Kevin - just where do I make this change?

Now that's one I'd never noticed! Thanks. Now that jarring change of background has gone.

I take it then it asks for your password when accessing this from system settings ? Here is does not so I have to run "sudo kcmshell4 kdm" from a shell.

It does need root password. With things like this I start systemsettings from a root konsole.

Yes, that's what's expected to happen if you run it as non-root.

Looks like our root password hack is broken in 4.2.90 then. Probably because upstream has done some work on implementing it the proper way, using PolicyKit.

Confirmed, I'll take a look.
