well.. the only thing the change does is that it adds a 'override' dir where 
different packages can drop a file to override kdm settings, mostly the 
default settings.
Purging these packages (desktop base - or some of the cdd packages) makes 
the 'override' files dissapear.

Please come up with a better implementation then.

you can just remove the files in /etc/default/kdm.d/  to remove the kdm 
theming.
On my machine, I have a 10_desktop-base  which provides the info about the 
default debian kdm theme.

I actually think this implementation is better than the one we had before:
Shipping a custom configuration file in /etc/kde3/kdm - now we ship the 
default.

First of all you should turn off a IP controller to a line, this way from 
X-Windows 3.6.7 you either never have to save the connection, or can never 
ping the Fast URL to get access over the printer.
