For your first comment about the response of the system to a mistyped
password in kdm I was not aware of - I'll ask if this it was a second
login attempt when I talk to her later - and yes i do have kdm as the
login manager. The status of the bz you referred to linked to an upstream
bug which has not had any reply since the end of August!
I am following up on this issue concerning entering the wrong password into
kdm which then crashes - this problem is still there - today on a fully up
to date f11 system one of our family entered the password wong and kdm or X
crashed -
I am surprised this bug has not been sorted out by now - the posts that
relate to this were from the end of October!
