           Summary: kdmgreet crashes when doing /etc/init.d/kdm restart and
                    xfstt is running and its usage is configured in
                    /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
           Product: kdm
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian stable
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: crash

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.0)
Installed from:    Debian stable Packages
OS:          Linux

I want to use TrueType-Fonts under KDE 3.2 on Debian woody (KDE 3.2 binary packges downloaded and installed from the official KDE download servers).

I did the following according to http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/TT-Debian-3.html (TrueType under Debian Mini-HOWTO):

1. apt-get install xfstt
   # install & run xfstt

2. copied some Windows TrueType fonts to /usr/share/fonts/truetype
   (all font files have lowercase names) 
   # fonts to font directory

3. chmod 0444 /usr/share/fonts/truetype/*
   # set correct rights

4. /etc/init.d/xfstt force-reload
   # reload font server config

5. /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
   Section "Files"
       FontPath   "unix/:7101"  # <-- xfstt
       FontPath   "unix/:7100"
       ...
   EndSection
   # added FontPath for xfstt

5. /etc/init.d/kdm restart
   # restart kdm

6. kdmgreet #crashes# with window displaying the "KDE crash bomb",
   telling that kdmgreet caused the SIGSEGV signal ...

When stopping xfstt, everything runs very well again.
