Explain more.  You mean you want to log in with your mouse (great idea
by the way)?

Getting ahead of myself, I think you have to work with KDM, not
kcminit.  For all I know, KDM should pass whatever tokens the biometric
mouse (or card) handles it to PAM.  Or maybe your PAM module would read
the mouse directly, after your users have typed a username and a
password, with no intervention from KDM except a friendly "Put your hand
over the mouse and we'll beam you up" message.
