I have upgraded my entire network to Lucid Lynx - server and desktops.

I have not had this recur in such a disastrous way - being unable to
login via gdm at all, until a complete reformat and re-install.

This may be related, or may be a new problem.  I'm not sure, but it
appears to be sufficiently related to add here.

I do note that startkde can be installed without having enough of the
KDE desktop installed for a user with KDE preference to succeed at
logging in.  I will attach the output of dpkg -l for your reference.  My
desktop does not have KDE installed, but some package that was added via
dependencies contained the file startkde.  This allows the option of
logging in to KDE to appear when a user is selected.  However, that
login fails because not enough of KDE is installed to succeed.

I have managed a workaround:
# cd /usr/bin
# chmod -x *startkde*

KDE no longer appears in the list of session options.
