Package: kdm
Version: 4:4.11.13-2

Dear maintainers,

After one changes KDM configuration in /etc/kde4/kdm/kdmrc and runs
`invoke-rc.d kdm reload', KDM keeps using the old configuration.

The reason for such behavior is the configuration file logic used in the
init script, when /etc/kde4/kdm/kdmrc is used only as a source for
generating the "real" configuration file /var/run/kdm/kdmrc, which is
the only configuration file KDM watches and reloads.

I've attached a trivial patch, which makes the init script regenerate the
configuration file at reload, which solves the issue.

Version: 4:4.11.22-3+rm

kdm was last released with Debian 8 (jessie) in April 2015
and was removed from the Debian archive afterwards.
It has been superseded by sddm.
See https://bugs.debian.org/803635 for details on the removal.
I'm closing the remaining bug reports now.

Andreas
