new KDE login does not work

[eberhard.v.kitzing@arcor.de]

Dear debians,

after a huge update two weeks ago I can no longer login using the KDE login screen when kdm starts immediately. When I type any character, the Dialog window shortly freezes, but the character does not appear on the dialog. Simply typing blindly does not work. It is a kde or kdm problem. Using simple text mode I can login. However, if I start in text mode and then start kdm, it works as usual.

I have an up to date version of debian

Linux 2.6.12-1-k7

KDE 3.5

I asked google, but I found no query text to locate the problem.

Any Help?

All the best,

Eberhard von Kitzing
