This is just a kludge til you get it figured out, but what I would recommend is
not having X start at boot,
yeah... the wife wouldn't be very impressed though. She won't let me install linux for her (as a linux only box) yet and I think a text login for my box (which she needs to turn on to connect to the net, even for her box) would just fuel the fire.
...does she actually have to log in to your box to get the net connection going? If not...
Otherwise, tell her if she logs in while in text mode, it means she's a l33t h4x0r ;-)
LOL.
Some years ago I ran a role-playing game set in a cyberpunk world I'd created largely by plagiarising William Gibson and Tad Williams. Hackers could recognise each other by the fact they spoke Lojban, or by holding out a hand and making typing gestures - in a world where people jacked into virtual reality through neural implants, their slogan was "Real geeks type!"
But ya, Robin's suggestion is probably a good one, I'm not sure as I never mess with KDE/KDM (which may explain why I don't even have an /etc/X11/kdm dir on my system...)
First time I ever messed with it. I normally think a good motto is "if ain't broke, don't fix it," but it was broke, so I fixed it.
