At least with rpm's it was packaging issue:

<from earlier mails>
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=68331:
creating /etc/pam.d/kde-np with the recommended content solved it.


1. Look in the directory /etc/pam.d for files named "kde", "xdm", or "kdm". 
 
 2. Assuming you find the file "kde", do the following: 
 
 cd /etc/pam.d 
 (echo "auth sufficient pam_permit.so"; cat kde) > kde-np 
 
 If instead you find "xdm" or "kdm", replace "kde" by one of those in two 
places in the second line above.
