I have also found a few problems using kdm with kde3.4 on 2.0.2/i386. I think 
the issues are also in kde3.2/3 as well

If kdm is started up from rc.d on bootup then I have sometimes found that the 
keyboard is completely unresponsive although the mouse works OK.  Even
shift+alt+f1 etc doesn't work. This doesn't happen if kdm is started manually 
from root after the system has booted up completely.

Another problem seen regularly with kde invoked from kdm is a flood of X 
events which look like a key is being held down (when it isn't).  This can be 
triggered by opening up a Konsole window, editting a file and pressing a 
cursor key a few times to move down the file. The symptoms are like the auto 
key repeat code goes into overdrive and the resulting events completely 
overwhelm the system.  This problem does not happen with kde invoked from 
startx. Is anyone seeing this sort of issue?

Cheers,
Dave
