Bug Description
Binary package hint: kdm
Problem:
Intel gfx driver crashes on logout (see LP #432509) from KDE session.

ps output shows that no X server is running.
Bug is that kdm does not start a new X server
Hack/Workaround:
remote login and running:
service kdm reload
gives a shiny now login screen.
Configuration detail see apport attachment in https:/

KDM, as an X application, goes down along with the X server. So if KDM is not running I think it's a bit much to expect it to restart X ;-)
