Actually, it was on clfs (ppc64, I'd built kde with ease but gnome was held up by the absence of a working firefox - I thought I'd try adapting the blfs gdm script for kdm, from memory I got around X11R6 being hardcoded in kdm by using symlinks, but it wouldn't run). I'll take a look at this when I'm back on that machine, but I'm really supposed to be doing far more urgent things at the moment, so that will probably be some weeks away.
