I already had the sddm-kcm package installed, but  I wasn't actually 
using sddm as the Display Manager I was using Fedora's default of gdm. 
I've now switched to sddm but the switch caused problems.
To switch to sddm I first disabled gdm through systemd, but that shut 
down my Plasma desktop and I had to power off my PC and power it back on 
again to get it back.
Now that I have switched to sddm I have found an sddm login interface in 
System Settings but it doesn't work, it doesn't display anything. As 
this is a standard part of Plasma 5 I don't understand why it doesn't 
work or alternatively why Fedora have removed it. The same also applies 
to sddm-config-editor which I believe is also a standard part of Plasma 
5 but it doesn't appear to be in the Fedora repositories.
How do we know what themes are installed for gddm as from my perspective 
the default theme is horrendous, in that if there are more than 2 users 
to display, it only show 2 at a time and focuses on the last user to login.
