That has been it this whole time!! When did tsak begin killing the graphical
login? Moreover, why did that "Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to begin" (pop-under) the
main
xdg chooser window so many time before it finally gave me the dialog? I must
have started tdm/kdm 15 times and it never gave me the "Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to
begin" before. That's weird...
Oh, well, at least we know what the culprit.
Slavek,
Here are the changes/"cherry picks" I would propose for 3513-sru kdmrc
generation (kdm/config.def). The kdm/tdm changes are necessary to avoid
conflicts with kde4 (e.g. stale .pid file, etc..):
-PidFile=/var/run/kdm.pid
+PidFile=/var/run/tdm.pid
-#DataDir=
+DataDir=/var/lib/tdm
-#SystemShell=/bin/bash (optional change - all distros I know use bash)
+SystemShell=/bin/bash
-#UseSAK=false (disables graphical login if enabled)
+UseSAK=false
-Preloader=/opt/trinity/bin/preloadkde (preloadkde does NOT exist)
+#Preloader=/opt/trinity/bin/preloadkde
I have attached a patch for consideration or to help identify commits that do
this...

Turn off SAK support in tdmrc to reenable the (less secure) graphical

Tim
I think I have found the flashed message that
appears before the
default
greeter appears. It looks like it is related to the new Xorg. Here is my
kdm.log
for today. The Corrupt data! messages look promising. What is putting
those
messages there?:
Here is the message. It says:
"Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to begin"
What in the heck is this and how do I disable it? Is this tsak?

Could this be killing the graphical chooser?
