35
36       Numlock=
37              Change numlock state when sddm-greeter starts.  Valid values are
38              on, off or none.  If property is set to none, numlock  won't  be
39              changed.  Default value is "none".
40
41       InputMethod=
42              Set  the  Qt input method for the greeter.  Tablet users with Qt
43              Virtual Keyboard installed can set this  to  "qtvirtualkeyboard"
44              for  the  on-screen keyboard.  Other known values are "ibus" for
45              the Intelligent Input Bus, or "compose" for dead  keys  support.
46              Leave this empty if unsure.
47
48       Namespaces=
49              Comma-separated list of paths bound to Linux namespaces to enter
50              with setns() before starting the user session.  For example,  to
51              enter  network  namespace mynet created with ip netns add mynet,
52              the value might be /run/netns/mynet.  Default  value  is  empty.

62              Name of the current theme.  By default this  setting  is  empty,

64
65       FacesDir=
66              Path  of  the directory containing face files, face files should
67              be   in   username.face.icon   format.    Default    value    is
