Looks just like what Im about to do, as the xdm
does the same way as kdm.. pulls kde2 up in pieces, rather than a
whole...
Thanxs for all thew help... almsot guarantee that
more will be needed when I begin from scratch, especially getting help removing
ALL traces of kde2.1.1 before I begin with 2.2.2(or latest stable)

If your box uses PAM for authentication, then all
authentication apps
need to use PAM.
Have you tried (temporarily)
switching to xdm instead of kdm?
At this point, i'd suggest
rebuilding all of KDE, and just doing a full
upgraed to whatever the latest
is (2.2.2 i think). No sense in piddling
further with an outdated
version of KDE. Doug wrote a SxS for this,
although i had little
success. Then again, i dont' get along well with
KDE.
