You need to use the script: "$KDEDIR/share/config/kdm/Xreset"

If your installation does not have such a script, then you need to first
configure KDM to use it.

In "kdmrc" under the:

	[X-*-Core]

tag, edit/add: 

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

Then it will run the script at the end of each X session.

This is the global script and like other global scripts, you can have it
source a local script from the user's home directory:

	. $HOME/.Xreset
