Well, I've used kdm in the past and never seen that problem. So, it's a
bit weird that it would crop up. I haven't heard anyone else mention
this problem, so perhaps there's something weird going on on your end?
Maybe, you'll want to be sure by purging kdm, and reinstalling it. But,
before you do that, check the outstanding bug reports for it. If the
problem persists, then I'd say it's a bug. It's a good idea to make
sure a bug is reproducible before filing it....
