Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.6.5) OS: Linux If you run KDM and switch with "Menu" to the "Remote login" (or pressing ALT-R) then you should be able to enter a computer name into the text field. But the keyboard is not working at all. This is not a focus problem. If you switch back to "Local Login" (or pressing ALT-L) then you are not able to enter a password or username. Keyboard is now "broken". The same is true if you boot KDM with LoginMode=DefaultRemote in /etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc and switch to "local login" with ALt-L in KDM. No keyboard is working to enter username or password. Clicking into the username or password field will not allow keyboard either. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora 2. Enter DISPLAYMANAGER=KDE into /etc/sysconfig/desktop to use KDM instead of GDM 3. reboot 4. Press ALT-R in KDM for remote login Press ALT-L in KDM for local login 5. No way to enter username or password into fields. Actual Results: No way to enter username or password Expected Results: Ability to enter it.

Confirmed for openSUSE 12.3, kdm-4.10.5-1.119.1.x86_64 There are other keyboard input problems too.
There's a general issue with input focus in kdm's dialogs. See the other bug report for a workaround. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 338018 ***
