you have two options:
# touch /var/run/xdmctl/.keep
kdm will refrain from unlinking the directory, then (checked).
set, in /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc, FifoDir to some directory which you don't
mind being created and unlinked on each kdm start-stop cycle. e.g.
FifoDir=/tmp/xdmctl.
I'm closing this bug, since I can't see why at least one of these
options won't work for you.
thanks, and please write back if this doesn't solve your problem,

Truth, honesty and respect are rare commodities that all spring from
the same well: Love. If you love yourself and everyone and everything
around you, funnily and coincidentally enough, life gets a lot better.
