Thank you for taking the time to report this bug, kdm-kde4 is known to have some issues with our setup so we recommend you only use the KDE3 version of KDM for the time being.

It seems taht it only needs some configuration files, in the logs I read:

systemsettings, the KDE config tool, gave me an unspecified error, but after creating /usr/lib/kde4/etc/kde4/kdm
(which didn't exist) i get systemsettings configure all and create a valid conf files.
