Yes, it is probably a bug in kdm and friends.

I solved the problem by putting "#!/bin/bash --login" as the shebang
line in the /etc/kde3/kdm/Xsession script.  (I log in via kdm to start
KDE, but I don't use the KDE session type from kdm.  Instead, I use
the Xsession session type and then put "exec startkde" in ~/.xsession.
