I have a hackish patch ready on VM (iirc it is usable). Just I don't have time 
to do more testing and proper upload right now. But I will get to it 
eventually, don't worry.

Unfortunately, kdm state on kfsbd is not that good overall. Restart/shutdown 
does not work from KDE sessions, kdm restarts whether it's not supposed to. I 
planned to look into this as well but I got distracted by kfbsd keyboard 
layout issues and eventually got overloaded with work. So this bug will have 
to wait a bit.
