>From recent forum posts and my own experience. This is still a problem.

Their is a hint in one web resource for another distro's that it may be
occurring because of a missing path for user authentication/resources.

The problem occurs while running as root and trying to locate user/user
resources. See /var/auth.log below.   Package reconfig makes no difference.
You can see below the before and after changing
/etc/X11/default-display-manager.  kdm does not complete the "open session"
for user and aborts with 'user not found' message.
