No, I think you are wrong:
/home/nuetzel> hostname
SunWave1
/home/nuetzel> xauth +SunWave1
xauth: (argv):1: unknown command "+SunWave1"
Andreas have a look into your ~/.Xauthority file. I am sure your_hostname is
already in it, no?
My solution:
Andreas are you running SuSE???
Then you need as myself as well a patch from SuSE for the XFree86/XFree86 DRI
CVS tree that enables the XDM-AUTHENTIFICATION (DES encryption for better
security) to get KDM running, again.
I've looked into the SuSE 7.3 XFree86 (xf86-4.1.0-45.src.rpm) package but
didn't found the right stuff, yet :-(

No, see above.
Stefan can you help, here? Maybe these patches are under closure (NDA)?
