Switching to KDM fixed the problem.  Mandrake should have kept *all* of 
KDM's functionality in MdkKDM along with any enhancements they might 
want to add.  Breaking KDM's configuration just leads to aggravation.  
If this funcionality *is* in MdkKDM somewhere, it should be made more 
obvious where to configure it.  MdkKDM is a bit prettier in an eye 
candy sort of way, but that's no excuse for removing funtionality.
