Bug#406438: this is intended behavior

[David Roundy <droundy@darcs.net>]

It is intended that /var/run/kdm/kdmrc is read instead of
/etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc.  The init script generates the former from the
latter.  The catch is that it modifies it in the process, sometimes in
surprising ways.  If you look at the diff between the two, you may be able
to add useful information describing the infelicity that presumably caused
you to notice this change.  In my case, I had trouble because
ReserveServers was being set to a non-default value, breaking my
configuration, but if you have a different problem, it'd be nice to know.
