KDM auto-login problem after upgrading, auto-launching other programs with kdm

Hello there,

Running Debian Unstable on a Tablet PC (Fujitsu Stylistic 3500) and recently apt-get upgraded to KDE 3.2.1. Liking the changes so far, but there's one thing that's really causing me great trouble. Due to the lack of a keyboard on a tablet PC, I had had it set to auto-login to my normal user. However, since upgrading, I get a dialog box with "Authenticating scott... Authentication failed" on boot. I've tried various tweaks and enables/reenables of options, but haven't had any luck. I've fiddled with the kdmrc, but I'm still somewhat new to KDM config and may be missing something.

Other corollary is whether or not it's possible to launch other programs with KDM, in this case an on-screen keyboard. It'd be handy to keep the KDM login for security reasons, but having to have a keyboard around to log in cramps the tablet PC design a bit. I've been using gok, which is really designed for gnome and has a few fiddly issues. Anybody know if KDE is ever going to have a native osk?

Very happy otherwise, great work!

Thanks,
Scott Holder
