Bug Description

Binary package hint: kdm

When i log into Kubuntu with xdmcp enabled and i use kdm, after half a minute or so, the system starts to stall. However, when i create some disk activity (start a large program, serach the disk for whatever) the system is responsive again.

Mostly related to

http://bugs.donarmstrong.com/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=263449

The trick to set
RandomDevice=/dev/urandom

in kdmrc does not work. However the system gets immediately responsive, when there is some disk acitivity.

I can confirm this. It happens with either gdm or kdm, but only on a KDE session. I'm running Ubuntu Edgy with the latest updates as of a few hours ago.

I noticed this behaviour only while connecting with xming.

It works fine while

* connecting from a different linux box
* i upgraded to a new version of xming and now it works too.

For me it seems as it was sthg. xming-related and not a bug in the xdmcp ....
