That's not good! I would suggest trying Slavek Banko's 3.5.13 updates PPA, available here: https://quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/~slavek-banko/+archive/axis
I couldn't seem to find a kdm-trinity for squeeze there: https://quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/~slavek-banko/+archive/axis/+index?f...
I didn't want to do a wholesale replacement of squeeze/stable so I updated sources.list as specified and then did "apt-get update" and "apt-get install kdm-trinity" which seemed to replace kdm-trinity and six other squeeze/stable packages with the ...+ax9 versions: kcontrol-trinity kdebase-kio-plugins-trinity kdebase-trinity-bin kdesktop-trinity kdm-trinity kfind-trinity konqueror-trinity
This seems to have fixed the kdm_greet 100% CPU problem on the laptop I tried it on (although 6-7% CPU is still high for an idle login screen!). If I get time I'll try to see if I can return any of those seven packages to squeeze/stable versions so we can stay as close to squeeze/stable as possible.
