yup. unless you have a weirdo setup. kdm_config does not obey all rules
of finding config dirs, e.g., it does not know /etc/kderc. so in some
cases it might disagree with kde-config. fixing this is todo.
what kdm really thinks can be figured out by starting it with -debug 2
and reading the [sys]log.

the commented out assignments in the kdmrc are purely exemplary. as no
real assignment is done, the default as documented in the "Default is
..." part is authoritative.

yup.
as the readme states, you have to make the sessions dir in the config
dir known to kdm, unless your distributor did it for you already. your's
didn't.

that's the minor syntax error i was suspecting ... kconfig accepts only
lowercase "true", "on", "yes" and non-zero integers ...
