When the kdm login screen does come up, however i get it to come up, I can login to anything listed in the drop down menu and the desktop runs fine without issue.  I just logged in to gnome and strangely this time I had no error messages that the bug report lists.  It happens that way some times but for the most part I get those error messages about not recognizing my monitor, keyboard or graphics card and I have to go and start logging into the tty and suddenly the kdm login screen pops up before even starting to login most of the time.
Very strange isn't it.  Now, if you want me to switch to gdm login and see what happens, let me know.  BTW, you don't have an nvidia card or onboard on any of your machines, I suppose.  If you do and are using the -185 driver do you ever see the bug listed messages on startup?
