kdm doesn not start: krootimage problem

[Sebastian Kügler]

When upgrading my notebook from breezy / KDE 3.5.0 to the KDE 3.5.1 backport, 
kdm broke in a way that it doesn't start anymore. /var/log/kdm.log says:

kdmgreet: WARNING: KLocale: trying to look up "" in catalog. Fix the program
krootimage: Fatal IO error: client killed

I've tried to fix it in various ways, among which reinstalling kdm with 
purging /etc/kde3/kdm, to no avail. In the meantime, I've upgraded to Dapper 
Drake, but the problem persists. Xorg starts and shows the moire screen, but 
when kdm should startup, it crashes Xorg and I end up in textmode. If I 
configure my system to use gdm, it works fine.

Does someone know this problem? Can someone suggest a fix for it?
