Thanks Nils,
Although I've done this several times before, didn't remember about 
commenting out the section titles or else the conf file I worked on had 
at least one uncommented line in the section. It was all on previous 
versions. Just killed X(KDM) and logged back on; everything seems OK.
Thanks for pointing out my error,
