Bug#416365: genkdmconf mangles "ServerArgsLocal"
Package: kdm
Version: 4:3.5.5a.dfsg.1-6
Severity: important
The subject says it all. On my installation I modify /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc
by commenting out the ServerArgsLocal entry, because I, in this case,
don't want the "-nolisten tcp" option.
But the invocation of genkdmconf in /etc/init.d/kdm changes this back,
removing the comment when it generates /var/run/kdm/kdmrc, thus
forbidding tcp listening whether I wish it or not.
It may be that this is just a documentation problem - that there is
a way around this. But I have not been able to find any documentation
on what the genkdmconf program actually does - only which files it reads
