Bug#247193: kdm: reserve doesn't seem to work

[Ross Boylan <RossBoylan@stanfordalumni.org>]

Package: kdm
Version: 4:3.2.2-1
Severity: normal

I uncommented the first commented display line in /etc/kde3/kdm/Xservers:
:1 local@tty2 reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X -nolisten tcp :1 vt8
and did 
  invoke-rc.d kdm restart

Despite this /var/run/xdmctl/ only showed xdmctl and xdmctl-:0.

As I understand it, there should have been an xdmctl-:1 to which I
could direct 
   echo reserve
to start up the second login screen.

I also tried restarting my X server on vt7.  This didn't help.

I have xfree86-common version 4.3.0-7, and am in a mostly testing
system. 

I may not have understood how this is supposed to work, but this is
what I got from the docs.
