           Summary: When connecting to a kde session using xdmcp, display
                    is reversed vertically.
           Product: kde
           Version: 4.6
          Platform: Archlinux Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: georges.dubus at laposte.net


Version:           4.6 (using KDE 4.6.2) 
OS:                Linux

When connecting to a kde session using xdmcp (from another computer), most of
the display is reversed vertically (see detailed description and photos below).
This make the session unusable.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
I'm connecting to my computer from another computer using xdmcp. There's no
problem with the login, but as soon as the the loading screen appears, the
display gets corrupted.

Actual Results:  
What happens is : Every item is reversed vertically, but items are still
displayed at their normal position (pannel on the bottom, krunner on top,
notifications on bottom right, etc). The inputs are handled normally, meaning
to interact with items, I need to click where they should be. No problem with
keyboard.

The wallpaper is reversed too.

When taking a screenshot, the screenshot is a reversed vertically from what is
seen on the screen (didn't saved the screenshot, I should have).

Expected Results:  
I should see the screen the same way it appears when I log on mu computer.

The problem happens with various users, including just created users.

This problem doesn't happens with other desktop manager (mwm), based on the
wallpaper.
