Right.  That looks predictable.  I'm not at all sure whether it's _right_
but the query parameter says to contact 192.168.0.1 for an XDMCP
connection, and XDMCP is disabled by default on all Linuxes that I know of.

Unfortunately, there are at least two, maybe three, places you need to
change defaults, depending on your display manager.  For Kubuntu, KDE3, it
should be in /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc
