Unfortunately the KDM package maintainer isn't the optimal person to speak
with. The xfre86-common maintainer would be in a much better position to
actually change the file in question. I have hesitated to submit that
report reasoning that there must be some hard-headed thinking that has
caused this issue to persist as it has. I might be prudent to get some
more support and positive feedback from users. I think users that have
applied the method will advocate it in return. Once that happends
the maintainers would be forced to look at the issue seriously.
