Description Märt Bakhoff 2013-12-28 19:22:12 UTC

Trying to lock the screen in kde when kdm is not installed blocks all inputs and uses 100% cpu instead of displaying the login prompt. It doesn't hang completely - ctrl+alt+f1 works and the mouse cursor can be moved. 

Installing kdm fixes the problem for me. 
See the linked issue from kde bugtracker. 

Using ~amd64 hardened with lightdm. 
kde-base/ksmserver-4.11.4
kde-base/kdm-4.11.4

Reproducible: Always

Should we split out the kdm libs into a separate package, or just always pull in kdm?

As KDM is declared as dead by upstream we should just pull in the dep, makes no sense to put that effort in to it.
