Gentoo uses the term xdm in two ways, one is for the xdm display manager, provided by that package. The other is for the init scripts used to launch a display manager. The init script launches the display manager specified in the config files, kdm being the common one choosen for KDE. You are complaining about kdm not shutting down, this is nothing at all to do with x11-apps/xdm, which is an entirely separate package. If you have both running, than, again, kdms inability to behave is NOT a problem of x11-apps/xdm, though, arguably, it could be said to be a problem of openrc. RobbieAB
