Bug#307353: kdm keeping users from starting kde



package: kdm
version: 3.3.2-1

this issue is quite puzzling. we've updated a few of our user's debian
boxes, and kdm is a common package that gets upgraded. now, kdm greets
our users normally, but when they login, they are briefly taken to a
generic gray xserver screen, and then almost immediately returned to
kdm. this issue only appears to affect kdm. we've been able to get users
back into kde using gdm/xdm with no problems. keep in mind, these users
mount their home directories from our nfs server, and i'm wondering if
this new kdm doesn't like nfs/nis/autofs. also strange, i've been able
to start fluxbox using kdm with no problems.

# cat /etc/debian_version
3.1

# Linux xxx.xxx.xxx.com 2.4.27-2-686 #1 Thu Jan 20 11:10:41 JST 2005
i686 GNU/Linux

thanks!
