Oswald and all, My delay on SID (KL debs) KDM startup has been fixed and is now ~11 seconds which is the same as I see on my Woody partition (RN Debs).
I don't run xft so I thought Oswald's comment wasn't relevant. However for the last couple of weeks my Phoenix session was not running TrueType fonts which I prefer (verdana). Tracking down the problem (KDE apps were seeing TrueType), I added the Truetype directory to XF86Config-4 (this didn't do anything as I AM running xfs). I then added Truetype (/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Truetype) to the catalogue = parameter in /etc/X11/fs/config This fixed truetype fonts in Phoenix and ALSO fixed the KDM startup time. My fonts in kdmrc are Helvetica, Times Roman and Charter - I think times roman is the Truetype font. Presumably kdm init (greet) was looking for a defined font that wasn't available.
