Bug#405792: I think this is two problems rolled into one
I have just discovered that the wallpaper referenced by the kdm
configuration file did not exist on my system (due to a screw up by
me). As a result, the failure to redisplay the kdm dialog when ending
a session seems to be as a result of this missing file. Now I have
corrected that issue, a proper dialog is displayed when I end the
session.
However, the other problems still partially remain. A crtl-alt-F1 the
first time whilst kdm is displaying the login dialog correctly gets me
to a text console. However, returning to VT7 shows a screen which has
lost horizontal sync (ie is scrolling sideways rapidly) and which the
bottom half of the screen is blank (but apparently wrapped around into
the top half). Once I had got into this mode, ctrl-alt-F1 no longer
gets me back to a text console.
