Thanks Ed, I am using gdm as my display manager. I could delete kdm, but I keep it around
in case I decide to move away from gdm. I have tried sddm and hated it and I considered
kdm to be significantly superior in the user interface, and in my view unless sddm
undergoes significant interface development it is not worth using, kdm is far superior.
OK.
Well, those messages are "harmless" notifications. So, either ignore them or
file a bugzilla against kdm.
And, if you have some idea of what you'd like to see changed in sddm you may want to
go to
kde.org and file
some suggestion.
