Don't know if you have a KDE installation at hand, but just checking the
output of ldd `which kdm` gives you a very long library list to load,
together with a thousand files for configs/icons/localization/whatever
kdm is kind of a monster...

The value 40 work here perfectly if I don't start kdm, not sure about
10 though.

Yeah, and it wouln't bother me at all, I just thought about somebody
who takes this failed and tries to find an error that just doesn't
exist... (maybe with an equally set up kdm-early-start)

As I said above, 40 work great when I leave out kdm.
