I have similar but different problems between a lap top and my
workstation. The fonts after the kde session starts is fine - but on
the lap top the kdm logon box fills most of the screen, the
workstation is is of a reasonable size.
the file you refer to with the line like the above in is
/etc/X11/kdm/Xservers
but there is also a file
/etc/X11/kdm/Xresources
which has a some degree of influence here.
Where I think you are getting confused, there is a directory /etc/kde2
in which there is a file kdmrc - this describes a whole load of
paramters for the login box too.
