Bug#236795: kdm: doesn't preserve "default" setting on update from kde 3.1

[Marc Haber <mh+debian-bugs@zugschlus.de>]

Package: kdm
Version: 4:3.2.1-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

I have been using kde 3.1, and kdm was set up to launch the "default
session" after logging in. After logging in once to kde, this worked
fine.

After the update to 3.2, logging in only started a single console,
which surely is some kind of fallback after not finding the default
session. After resetting the session type to kde manually, everything
is fine.

IMO, the update to kde 3.2 should either try to preserve the "default
session type", or - if preservation is not possible - should reset the
appropriate option in the menu so that kdm doesn't try to start an
unavailable session type.

Otherwise, the kde 3.2 update went quite smoothly. Good work!

Greetings
Marc
