I have some work from Ossi (KDM maintainer) to merge into the kdm doc, and I 
use xdmcp (with remote KDM) all the time, so I can quite likely have a go at 
this.   

That leaves two remaining problems:
1: kdm's doc doesn't have a maintainer, so it looks like that'll be me for a 
while, unless someone speaks up now
2: kdm's doc isn't accessible anywhere in KHelpCenter.  I might file that as a 
bug, since we keep forgetting to do anything about it, the problem boils down 
to, KDM doesn't install a .desktop file 

Anyway, after a hectic few weeks past, I have more time in the near future, 
and will catch up on a whole lot of things in the next week or so.
