Oddly enough, I saw this. But, while it fixes the problem - kind of - it 
doesn't explain why I have been merrily creating sessions prior to 
amending '/etc/kde3/kdm/Xservers

Ah well, it works, so no complaints.

The reason I said 'kind of' is because when you reserve, say, one extra 
tty, then use it by creating a new session, the 'Start new session' menu 
entry remains. Click it, the new session dialog opens, and then nada.

Seems to me that the number of ttys should be managed in Session Manager 
and that the dialog should be a warning where no more sessions are 
available for creation.

Anyway, back to Samba - cool that the O'Reilly book is in the docs.
