Bug Description
Binary package hint: kdm
Most of the times kdm crashes when starting and always when trying to restart. I found a 'workaround' using gdm instead, which does not have the problem at all (that is the reason why I know it is an issue with kdm, at least with nvidia driver 185 and kubuntu karmic 64 bits), but I would prefer not to have to install that many gnome packages to get kde working.

I forgot to mention that startx also works.
