The kdm upgrade scripts will not remove Xservers if it detects local changes, however, to give admins a chance to merge their customizations into kdmrc (have a look at ServerArgsLocal - you'll probably need an updated kdmrc to see this and have it work). If this doesn't fix things, let us know. Unfortunately, kdm upgrades suck exceedingly, with plenty of random changes to go around. It would really be best for users to purge/reinstall kdm 3.4.2, then re-customize from there. Cheers, Christopher Martin
