I located the problem.  My /etc/kde2.kdm/Xaccess file looked like this:


%hostlist       holler warp gascol
*               CHOOSER %hostlist


But it should have looked like this:


*                         #any host can get a login window
%hostlist       holler warp gascol
*               CHOOSER %hostlist


Apparently the former means "any host can get a chooser but not a
login window", while the latter means "any host can get a chooser or a
login window".

So I'm happy, because everything on my system now works the way I'd
like it too.  However I think there is still a bug.  The way I
originally had it configured (no * line in Xaccess), the reported
status was in fact correct ("Display not authorized to connect") but
kdm nevertheless allowed connections.
