Bug Description
Binary package hint: kdm
Using Kubuntu 10.10 (Maverick), on upgrade to kdm version 4:4.4.80-0ubuntu2 the package manager warned about the fact that the user kdm does not own its own home account (/var/lib/kdm). On reboot this caused error messages to be written to the log (and a drop in functionality because KDM is no longer able to recall the last login name). For instance:
