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

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

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

needs to be replaced with THIS:

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

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

Of course it's difficult to tell whether this is exactly your problem, 
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 
(the bug is fixed there as far as I know). KDE 3.3.1 should be 
available in a few days.

Hope that helps,
Raphael
