Hi all just to let you know I resolved the missing Start New Session Menu Entry. This entry dynamically appears when sessions are defined in your Xservers file (/etc/X11/xdm/Xservers). I added the following two lines at the bottom of the file.
:1 local reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X :1 vt08 :2 local reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X :2 vt09
You need to restart kdm so do an init 3 followed by init 5 or rckdm restart
Unsure why the new RPMs have removed these extra lines - previous releases had many others but I never start more than a few sessions on the console (via XDMCP is another matter).
I have such an Xservers file in /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm which contains these entries (:0 to :5). Is this file missing on your system? I think /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers is only a fallback for kdm. Mario
