Description mps 2008-06-09 00:46:37 UTC

When I lock the session (Kickoff - Leave - Lock) then try to log back in to my 
session, kde does not recognise my password (nb to make sure it wasn't me 
making a typo I shortened my password to 3 characters temporarily).
 The only way of logging back in (as that user) is to kill X. This occurs with 
a minimal session (no running applications).

How can I provide more information about this - are there any log files I 
should post? (NB I am running trunk on Fedora 8 as per the instructions on 
techbase). Fedora 8 uses gdm, if that makes any difference here.

Thanks for your help.

your installation is incorrect.
