Since you've upgraded KDE, have you checked to see if rpm created a 
"kdmrc.rpmnew" under /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm"?

Hint 1: make a backup copy of your existing kdmrc before doing anything else

Hint 2: if replacing kdmrc with kdmrc.rpmnew doesn't work, study the README in 
the same directory for instructions on generating a new 'from scratch' kdmrc

Hint 3: To test each change while troubleshooting, don't just log out and log 
back in (which theoretically restarts X each time) because in my experience 
it is not always reliable. Instead, log out of your session (lands you back 
at the login greeter), do Ctl+Alt+F1 to switch to tty1 console, log in as 
root, issue 'init 3' to drop to runlevel 3, wait and hit 'Enter' to regain a 
prompt then issue 'init 5 && exit' to return to runlevel 5.
