I've noticed that, too, on two seperate machines.

The kdm config is now in /usr/share/config/xdm. The file you want is
Xservers. This one stumped me for a good long while, as I need +xinerama
appended to the vt line, and I couldn't figure out why it wasn't working.

I see this too, but what above point are you referring to?

An apt-cache search for kwifi brings back nothing. Where did you get this
from? If you did do a .deb install, run dpkg -L <packagename> to see all the
files that it installed. I do that and grep for 'bin' all the time...

Add -dpi 100 to /usr/share/config/kdm/Xservers, and restart. That should do
ya!
