And of course showing the root directory isn't what's happening. kdm is displaying all users, including the various system daemon users. There's a kdm configuration tool that's part of the control center in KDE. It allows you to select which users are displayed, but it isn't working. That is, I can select the proper users but the settings aren't saved. When I logout or restart the xserver, all users are back.
