>Description:
The 'kdm' program included with the kdebase11 _package_ has
apparently not been correctly compiled. I solved a couple of
problems by compiling the kdebase11 port and using that form
of kdm instead.
>How-To-Repeat:
The following command should generate no output:
strings kdm | grep XBINDIR
XBINDIR is a symbol in the kdm source that is replaced at config time
with '/usr/X11R6/bin'. Without the correct path, kdm's compiled-in
defaults for the X server binary, xrdb binary, and other X binaries do
not work and kdm manifests a variety of problems.
Is it possible that the kdebase11 package was compiled on a
machine without X installed? That might explain this problem.
>Fix:
Replace the kdebase11 package, using binaries compiled from the port.
This problem can be partially worked around by:
setting explicit paths to binaries in the xdm-config file
(see 'man xdm' for details)
using a full path to the X server in the Xservers file
resetting the PATH at the top of each of the xdm/kdm shell
scripts to include '/usr/X11R6/bin'
