This is simply not supposed to work.

In single user mode, the sulogin program starts a shell directly on 
/dev/console. Job control (with keys such as Ctrl+C and Ctrl+Z) works only 
when a shell has a controlling tty, but /dev/console in the kernel is 
deliberately made so that it can never be a controlling tty for anything.

Sorry, I don't use KDM and thus can't help. There was a bug in 
xorg-server-1.1.0 (fixed in 1.1.1) that sometimes prevented Ctrl+Alt+Fn from 
working, but what you describe doesn't look like this bug.
