I had the same problem, it turned out to be a problem with the PAM library configureation. I changed the file /etc/pam.d/xdm to read: #%PAM-1.0 auth required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so shadow nullok auth required /lib/security/pam_nologin.so account required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so password required /lib/security/pam_cracklib.so password required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so shadow nullok use_authtok #session required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so ^ |- note the comment on the last line. KDM worked as advertised after that.
