There's one more thing that needs to be done, and
it's to comment out a line in /etc/X11/kdm/kdm-config:

! SECURITY: do not listen for XDMCP or Chooser requests
! Comment out this line if you want to manage X terminals with kdm
!DisplayManager.requestPort:     0

Ie. put a '!' in front of the line with 
DisplayManager.requestPort.

Then you must restart kdm, with
	/etc/init.d/kdm restart

It is not enough to press the "restart x server" button
of the KDM login dialog.
