I had no configuration for reportbug (1st time use). And it showed
nothing until I ran it alone, and answered the question. 'guess I should
report a bug about reportbug ;-)

Right.
I had tried everything you said, and ended up reinstalling completely
kdm, and then it worked again. Now, I've understood that if I ever configure
anything from the control center, next kdm run will fail as I described. My
understanding is that kdm_config or whatever outputs wrong configuration files
(should be 2.2) that a next kdm instance is unable to parse.
I could do this again and send you diff of the files if you whish, but I'm in
a hurry right now so I gotta go (I wanted to let you know before leaving my
office).
Here's the kdm output in daemon.log anyway:
