Hello,
I was having the same problem with KDM taking about a minute or more to
start.
Then I found this:
http://www.linuxformat.co.uk/modules.php?op=modload&name=phpBB_14&file=index&action=viewtopic&topic=5678&forum=1&5
Basically the solution is to 'dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig' to rebuild
the
font cache. It might be possible to just do 'fc-cache -f -v' (from the
postinst for fontconfig) but I didn't try this. Now KDM starts in a few
seconds.
Cheers and such,
--Barry
