I am following up on this issue concerning entering the wrong password into
kdm which then crashes - this problem is still there - today on a fully up
to date f11 system one of our family entered the password wong and kdm or X
crashed - 

I am surprised this bug has not been sorted out by now - the posts that
relate to this were from the end of October!
