But the problem can be seen eslewhere. If you have more than 1 X display running (:0 and :1) which can be accessed by Ctrl + Alt + F7 (:0) and Ctrl + Alt + F8 (:1) you will notice that there is no problem going to :0 but that everything is screwy when go to :1. TO get it to work right you will need to Ctrl + Alt + F9 (or F1-F6, etc) to get a terminal, then back to Ctrl + Alt + F8 to see it properly. As far as the kdm problem, going back and forth between :0 and console will eventually get it to look properly also.
