And indeed, kdm now contains its own internal sessreg routines, so users were being registered/unregistered twice. Question is - how to fix? Disable the internal sessreg, and continue using our own? That's the easiest option, since we just have to change an option in kdmrc, but if we do it by modifying kdmrc, then users who don't update that file will still have the problem. Of course, yanking out our own sessreg patches mean that any user that doesn't update Xstartup and Xreset will also still be affected. I'd rather modify one conffile than two, and the fix is simpler, so I'll proceed with my first suggestion unless anyone can think of a good reason to do otherwise :) Cheers, Christopher Martin
