[Bug 37529] Re: kdm crash due to corrupted ~/.face.icon file

[Andrew Simpson]

Same problems as above.  Upgraded from Kubuntu 5.10 to 6.06 (64 bit). 
Generally runs and boots fine.  During boot up kdm randomly dumps out to a console login (tested at about once in 4 - 5 reboots in succession).
Xlog files looked normal.  Found  'kdm_greet' messages (as above) in syslog.
Didn't have a  ~/.face.icon file, but added one anyway with System Settings panel, and all seems to be well.

Added bonus is that it fixed another bug too:  Previously choosing  'K'
-> 'Logout' -> 'End current session' dumped me into a console login (kdm
failed).  Now it appears to work.
