That would be the 'proper' solution but I'm not familiar enough with QT
to even attempt that!

In the meantime, the silly little changes I made allow folk to get
around the issue and won't effect a future 'proper' solution.

It's also worth commenting that for most people with a single machine
it's not really a big issue in the first place; I'm unusual in have lots
of kdm_greets running.

Reopened Bug 690 and added the patch to that.
