I encountered this problem too, and it seems like it has a chance of
cropping up for anyone that's upgrading from a previous kdm version with a
modified kdmrc, and doesn't choose to overwrite it with the packaged
file on upgrade.  Since everyone that's ever used the Login Manager
panel in the control center will have a modified kdmrc, this could be a
lot of users....

Reverting /etc/kde3/kdm/Xservers to the previous version solved the
problem.  3.3.0-1 dropped the 'vt7' from the end of the :0 line.  Might
it be worth reverting this change?  I'd expect that few people have
modified Xservers, so the fix would be silent for most users.


% diff Xservers.3.3.0-1.orig Xservers
