When I go to

Configure Your Desktop -> Login Screen

and make changes, then applications fonts and theme set on

Configure Your Desktop -> Application Appearance -> Fonts
Configure Your Desktop -> Application Appearance -> Style


return to default values.

I have noticed this in both 32bit and 64bit installations.
For example, I've set the font for my applications to be U-buntu 9px and the Widget style to be QtCurve.
I went to make changes to my KDM login screen and when I was finished, applications fonts returned to Sans Serif 11px and the Widget style to Oxygen.

Anyone else has the same issue?

Yes. I think it is a well-known bug.

I think I noticed this since the start of KDE 4. There are 2 or 3 other settings that are also reset, although at the moment I can't remember which ones.

This is definitely a bug in KDE, but I guess nobody was bothered enough by it to complain (like me  :D).

Thanks guys.
It's not so annoying because I don't really play around with themes that much. I just wanted to give a different look to each of my 3 PCLinuxOS installations and this is how I noticed.
