Hi Dale, Thank you for the response. That dialog area appears to be the same one I get to directly by clicking on the offending icon that resides at the top of the Application Launcher menu. Choosing the icon at the right allows me to choose a new one from a gallery, but only (apparently) for a new user. Changing it does not effect my account.
Possibly this is a lack of documentation issue but there are already user accounts on this machine and none of those existing users show up on the left. All it says is 'New User'. Possibly I can create a 'mark' user and then possibly KDE will change the icon associated with my account but I'm uncertain and don't want to just play around and create problems. Again, thanks for the response.
