You could use the attached patch to generate correct kdm=20
configuration, if you build from sourcecode, otherwise read on.

Especially in the share/config/kdm/Xsession file of your KDE=20
installation THIS:

"    eval `$SHELL -c 'if (-f /etc/csh.login) source /etc/csh.login; if=20
(-f ~/.login) source ~/.login; /bin/sh -c set | egrep -v=20
\"^(BASH_VERSINFO|EUID|PPID|UID|_)=3D\"'`\n"

needs to be replaced with THIS:

"    eval `$SHELL -c 'if (-f /etc/csh.login) source /etc/csh.login=20
> /dev/null; if (-f ~/.login) source ~/.login > /dev/null; /bin/sh -c=20
set | egrep -v \"^(BASH_VERSINFO|EUID|PPID|UID|GROUPS|SHELLOPTS|
_)=3D\"'`\n"

Make sure that you remove the line breaks when you insert this into=20
your Xsession file.

Of course it's difficult to tell whether this is exactly your problem,=20
but the symptoms ("can't log in when using kdm") seem to be the same.

As far as I know genkdmconf should produce correct output in KDE 3.3.1=20
(the bug is fixed there as far as I know). KDE 3.3.1 should be=20
available in a few days.

Hope that helps,
Raphael
