This exactly the main problem I have with the KDE project and it
remains to be seen whether GNOME will do it better. This isn't
exactly rocket science. It has been done before. CDE's dtlogin can do
it, f.i.. Same for pictures, IRIX has done that for ages. It would
have been a lot nicer if this could have been included in the
original xdm. Same holds for several other apps that have been
KDEifed.

Somehow moving from xbla to kbla always induces a fork so that
functionality relatively independent of any real KDE features does not 
migrate (easily) to the original.
