[Bug 428662] [NEW] kdm crashes system on logout

[Thorsten]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kdm

After logging out of a KDE or GNOME session, kdm appears to hang with a
black screen (with single white cursor) and a "dead" keyboard (Ctrl-
Alt-F{1..9} doesn't do anything; not even NumLock can be triggered.)

If I am also remotely logged into this system via ssh, I can see that
there is a kdm but no X process. It looks like kdm can't restart X after
the logout (which apparently completes just fine, complete with saving
the session and the logout sound.)

This happens on two similar, but not identical DELL Latitude E5500
notebooks, both with Intel on-board video and running Kubuntu Karmic
AMD64 with the latest updates. (Everything runs fine under Kubuntu
Jaunty i386.)

The problem does not occur when I use gdm instead of kdm.

Please advise if you need additional debugging info.
