And indeed, kdm now contains its own internal sessreg routines, so users=20
were being registered/unregistered twice.

Question is - how to fix? Disable the internal sessreg, and continue using=
=20
our own? That's the easiest option, since we just have to change an option=
=20
in kdmrc, but if we do it by modifying kdmrc, then users who don't update=20
that file will still have the problem. Of course, yanking out our own=20
sessreg patches mean that any user that doesn't update Xstartup and Xreset=
=20
will also still be affected.

I'd rather modify one conffile than two, and the fix is simpler, so I'll=20
proceed with my first suggestion unless anyone can think of a good reason=20
to do otherwise :)

Cheers,
