Login not accepted

[nibl]

I need help with KDM please. My regular user logins are nl longer accepted, even after setting auto-login for that user as root in KDE Control Center.

I have an HDD install. Everything has been fine for over a year. Recently I must have installed some package via apt-get which changed KDM. If I go into control center as root the user is set to auto-login. It's a mystery to me.

Thanks,

nibl
