KDM-Errormessage

Hi all,

I have a problem with misleading error messages in KDM. I'm using Ubuntu
12.04 and KDM greeter for login. If I want to log in on this greeter and
supply a wrong password, I get a fatal error message saying "Critical
error. Ask the system administrator to look into the logfiles to get
further information". Well, I dont want to be asked any time a user
cannot log in because he mistyped his password... I would like to get a
better errormessage. But how can I configure KDM to show another error
message?

I'm using pam in the background, perhaps thats the point where to
configure a better error message. But I have no idea where to do that
exactly.

Has anyone hints for that? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance
- Oliver
