Got back to it yesterday, but no progress until earlier this evening. Turns out to be all my fault - I accidentally installed the baseapps and workspace into /usri (you can probably guess which editor I use :) - I do not use a variable for that, it _should_ be easy enough to hardcode it. Noticed the error, thought I had moved everything to /usr, but I appear to have failed to move some of the /usr/share files. I then removed /usri and recreated it as a symlink, so that anything looking there would still find the files. Last night, I discovered that konqueror was missing the menubar, and I also found how to resize windows in fluxbox (seems to need more-specific mouse-positioning than I had remembered, but I do not normally use it much). But running strace did not point to any obvious errors. Today, running strace on kdm did not show me anything useful, except that it was logging into /var/log/kdm.log - looking at that said some htings will log in daemon.log. Very little from kde in there, but two messages referred to kdm_config failing to open /usri/share/config/kdm/kdmrc and /usri/share/config/kdm/Xaccess. Checking my install log showed those had originally existed, but were not in /usr (strace had showed the /usri symlink was working). So, I rebuilt baseapps and workspace. Everything now works, and I agree that in these circumstances kdm does not give a list of all (system and real) users, in fact its login display is completely different. So yet again, mea culpa. ĸen -- Nanny Ogg usually went to bed early. After all, she was an old lady.
