You can have a file which is normally:

"$KDEDIR/share/config/kdm/Xreset"

XDM has this as default, but with KDM you need to add it to: "kdmrc" 
because the default is: "".

[X-*-Core]

Reset=/usr/kde3/share/config/kdm/Xreset

Then you need in this file:

#!/bin/bash
halt

and the file must be executable: 755 is normal.

Hope this works.
