Bug Description
I use Kubuntu 9.10 with KDE 4.3.2
My home folder is on its own partition (which is much larger than the root partition).
When fsck runs on boot, as it does periodically, it scans both my root and home partitions.
However, before it's finished with the home partition, the login screen appears and quickly replaces the fsck messages.
If I'm not quick enough to catch that fsck is running and try to log in, all heck breaks loose since my home folder is empty.
I can watch fsck by switching to the F8 tty, but I have to know to do that.

I am making an educated guess that this is the right package. I'm not sure if there should be a check by X to confirm fsck has completed before calling xdm/kdm or if kdm should check to see if fsck is still working on the home directory before prompting the user for a login.
