There's one more thing that needs to be done, and
it's to comment out a line in /etc/X11/kdm/kdm-config:
! SECURITY: do not listen for XDMCP or Chooser requests
! Comment out this line if you want to manage X terminals with kdm
!DisplayManager.requestPort: 0
Ie. put a '!' in front of the line with
DisplayManager.requestPort.
Then you must restart kdm, with
/etc/init.d/kdm restart
It is not enough to press the "restart x server" button
of the KDM login dialog.
