I never got KDM to work, it never accepted the password. But then
I have been using KDE from CVS, so I account such problems to
some kind of debianization that I miss out not doing it the
debian way.
Right now I am trying to recompile the whole thing, this time
using the debian rules, and thus putting everything into the
debian places. Not that easy, since the sources appears to be
more updated than the debian rules, and sometimes have different
opinions. I somehow assume that debian changes goes back into the
KDE CVS tree.
Sometimes there is a debian.diff file in the debian directory,
which I apply. Sometimes successfully, sometimes not.
qt-copy is extra horrible to compile from sources the debian way.
If I find any problems, is there anyone interesting in knowing
what I did to make it work, or what failed? Note this does not
relate to the built .deb files, but to rebuilding them from KDE
CVS sources.
