(Which is correct... If your XDMCP host isn't set up correctly. The X logs
should tell you what's going wrong when it's trying to connect.)

I don't know how to do this with KDM directly, but I'm sure it handles XDMCP
similarly to GDM. In GDM, you just enable XDMCP, tell it how many clients it
is allowed to handle, etc.
See my post about VNC + GDM in the archives about this. It's the same thing,
just that the X server (xvncserver) is running on localhost and pumping out
the pixels over VNC's network framebuffer.
You're looking for XDMCP options, in any case. They should be off by
default. :-)
