If you kill the X server (or if you log out) a new KDM instance is launched using a parent KDM, so, in case of KDM update you can have a parent process with a different version than the child one... The parent process is like a deamon that start again the child process each time it's terminated or killed (and so the X server at the same time if needed). To restart the deamon (so the parent process): * on Debian and *Ubuntu: /etc/init.d/kdm restart * on OpenSuse and Gentoo: /etc/init.d/xdm restart Don't know for other distro.
