Details

Every time when we start the KDM module of kcontrol, this message is show to us:
Can not create the dir "/usr/share/apps/kdm"

I think this problem is base on the prefix compile the KDE to /opt/kde, not /usr

So, just a soft link from /opt/kde/share/apps/kdm to /usr/share/apps/kdm is needed.

Or, create a dir named /usr/share/apps/kdm, and soft link /opt/kde/share/apps/kdm/pics/users to /usr/share/apps/kdm/users.
This task depends upon

hmm, here it runs normal and i can start kdm config out of kcontrol and i don'T hae a /usr/share/... dir
are you sure that you have the correct KDEDIR= variable set by export?
export | grep KDE:
declare -x KDEDIR="/opt/kde"
declare -x KDEDIRS="/opt/kde:/usr"
declare -x KDE_FULL_SESSION="true"
declare -x KDE_MULTIHEAD="false"

I have the same output as you:

[root@myhost ~]# export | grep KDE
declare -x KDEDIR="/opt/kde"
declare -x KDEDIRS="/opt/kde:/usr"
declare -x KDE_FULL_SESSION="true"
declare -x KDE_MULTIHEAD="false"
[root@myhost ~]#

And I use KDE-3.5.3, the problem still there.

does this happen with a new created user?
does this happen if your /root/.kde is empty?

1. This does not happen with a new created user, but a not "root" user can not change any option of this KDM module.

2. This does happen if my /root/.kde is empty.

ok, your user has wrong settings somewhere in .kde/
for root:
have you ever changed kdmrc file?
try to move in the standard kdmrc
mv /opt/kde/share/config/kdm/kdmrc.pacnew /opt/kde/share/config/kdm/kdmrc
you have somewhere a wrong config option set.
