Package: kdm
Version: unknown (using KDE 2.2.0 beta1)
Severity: normal
Installed from:    Linux-Mandrake 8.0 (Traktopel) - Unsupported
Compiler:          gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Linux-Mandrake 8.0 2.96-0.48mdk)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.3-20mdk
OS/Compiler notes: 

After a new installation of KDE 2.2Beta1, I rebooted, using the graphical login \
manager (kdm).  I typed in my username and password, which were accepted (no error \
message about wrong username or passwd).  The screen went blank for a few seconds, \
then the kdm login manager appeared again.  Repeated login attempts also failed.

Finally, I changed the window manager selection from "Default (use last session)" to \
"KDE", and was then able to login.  The "Default" selection worked on subsequent \
login attempts.

My guess is that "Default" does not initially point at any WM, so the login fails.  \
It should point to KDE by default.

cheers,
Jason
