   Summary: kdmgreet crashes when doing /etc/init.d/kdm restart and
xfstt is running and its usage is configured in
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4
   Product: kdm
   Version: unspecified
  Platform: Debian stable
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
  Severity: crash
  Priority: NOR
 Component: general
AssignedTo: ossi kde org
ReportedBy: a.licher mbn de


Version:(using KDE KDE 3.2.0)
Installed from:Debian stable Packages
OS:  Linux

I want to use TrueType-Fonts under KDE 3.2 on Debian woody (KDE 3.2 binary 
packges downloaded and installed from the official KDE download servers).

I did the following according to http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/TT-Debian-3.html 
(TrueType under Debian Mini-HOWTO):

1. apt-get install xfstt
   # install  run xfstt

2. copied some Windows TrueType fonts to /usr/share/fonts/truetype
   (all font files have lowercase names) 
   # fonts to font directory

3. chmod 0444 /usr/share/fonts/truetype/*
   # set correct rights

4. /etc/init.d/xfstt force-reload
   # reload font server config

5. /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
   Section Files
   FontPath   unix/:7101  # -- xfstt
   FontPath   unix/:7100
   ...
   EndSection
   # added FontPath for xfstt

5. /etc/init.d/kdm restart
   # restart kdm

6. kdmgreet #crashes# with window displaying the KDE crash bomb,
   telling that kdmgreet caused the SIGSEGV signal ...

When stopping xfstt, everything runs very well again.

I seen something similiar on one of my machines.
It has been mismatch in some library (not sure which exactly
byt probably libXft.so or libfreetype.so or libXrender.so).
I found this library in /usr/lib AND /usr/X11R6/lib.
Removing incorrect version solves problem
(dpkg -S knows only one of these). I installed this library
only from DEB packages - some unoficial - ds.
I suggest ldd /usr/bin/kdm_greet and compare
against know good machine.

My problem had been on sid.
