>Description:
The kdm included with kdebase 1.1 by default does not terminate
the server after each session.  However, it forgets the server
is running and still needs to be managed.  Thus, kdm simply exits
after the first login session, leaving the X server running.

>How-To-Repeat:
Install the kde11 packages.  Recompile kdebase11 from the ports collection.
(I've filed another bug report about the kdebase11 package not
being correctly compiled.)

Run kdm, login and log back out again.  You should see the X server
still running, but kdm is no longer running.
>Fix:
1) Fix kdm so it doesn't forget about running X servers ;-)

2) Workaround: Include the following line in the supplied xdm-config
   file so that people who try to use kdm won't encounter this bug.
   terminateServer: true is probably a good idea anyway.

DisplayManager._0.terminateServer: true
