- Start g/x/kdm directly from a shell window and see if it reports and problems.
- grep your `ps ax` for kdm. If gdm doesn't start, it pops a dialog and even
if you're at a remote terminal, the process for this dialog shows up. kdm
might be do something similar.
- If your server is headless, it might not start because it wants a pointer
device, so you have to set it not to start a local copy. This is done with
gdmconfig for gdm, you should use kdm's analog.
