 I had this problem right after KDE 1.0 came out. The problem is KDM doesn't
 set the path right and can't find kwm and friends. The problem went away
 after I put a usable PATH in ~/.xinitrc (or whatever, I don't remember, it's
 been working for a while :). Don't know if there's a fix or if this should
 just be documented somewhere. Since pre 1.0 releases didn't need the path
 explicitly set this seems to be a bug in KDM at least on FreeBSD.

 >>Description:
 >The KDE KDM Display Manager has a login problem. After boot, login under
 any name. After running KDM, only the user who originally logged in from the
 command prompt can log in with the display manager. i.e. If I log in as root
 only root can log in with KDM. If I log in as jrista only jrista can log in
 with KDM. If I set kdm to run from a /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d/ script (i.e.
 kdm.sh*) only root can log in with KDM.
 >>How-To-Repeat:
 >Boot to command prompt. Log in under any name. Type kdm at the prompt. Try
 to log in under a diffrent name as the one originally logged in as.
