Fix kdmrc! for KDM and frequent crash for the GDM login manager.

I don't know what is wrong with my Slackware 10.1 system.
This one is pretty old. I mean this is installed a long time back.

I have just made recent changes like changing the background etc.
But now, whenever I login, a message saying fix kdmrc! appears on my Login Screen.

Also, I tried changed the configuration files to change the default Login Manager from KDM to GDM.

But after a restart, i get a message saying The Login manager is crashing, I will try another one.

And then, after this happens, I see the Standard Greeter for GNOME, instead of Graphical Greeter.

I used to get some DCOP error messages ....(Like the ones that have been discussion for many days on the Forums...) when I used to login from the KDM login Screen.

Also, the Standard Gnome Greeter works fine out of the box.

If I were you, I'd backup my kdmrc, and extract kdmrc from the kdebase Slackware package and overwrite mine with it. Then start again on changing the background etc.

OK. Lets see if I have luck with that.
