Package: kdm
Version: 4:3.3.0-1.1
Severity: normal
please could the same be done to kdm as has been done to gdm, namely
that when a user session is started, a different log file is used for
the user session from the one that is created by kdm?
the reason is because in order to allow access to the
kdm-created-log-file, far too many permissions must be granted to users.
namely, the permission to write to ANY files created by kdm must be
granted, for a start.
ta,
l.

For Fedora we modified GDM to log the X session errors to
/tmp/xses-$USER.$RANDOM, you could probably do something similar with
KDM.

I think it'd be better to move the X errors to /tmp. It's more
NFS-homedir friendly anyways.
