Bug#779806: /usr/bin/kdmctl: kdmctl timeout parameter not honoured

[Timo Boettcher <debian@timoboettcher.name>]

Package: kdm
Version: 4:4.8.4-6
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/kdmctl

Dear Maintainer,

The manpage of kdmctl states:
"reserve [timeout in seconds]
    Start a reserve login screen. If nobody logs in within the specified
    amount of time (one minute by default), the display is removed
    again."

Thus, "kdmctl reserve 3600" should open a login screen that should stay
available for one hour, even if nobody logs in.

The optional timeout parameter does not seem to be honoured, though: The
login screen closes in just short of one minute.
