I searched for "kdm utmp" in google, and came up with this: http://docs.kde.org/2.2.2/kdenetwork/ktalkd/questions-and-answers.html I followed Procedure 3.1, which bascially involves creating an /etc/X11/xdm/Xstartup and /etc/X11/xdm/Xreset, both of which call sessreg. Then modified /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config and /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc to use these files. It *seems* to work, but I can't tell for sure yet, because I can't really ask everyone to log out and log in again. In a day or two it should be clear if it works.
