    I think that the real problem is that you're missing something with 
KDM (settings wise), and it was overwriting the settings each time with 
the changes it received while you were operating in multi-user mode with 
your account (which should have been no changes, unless you modified 
something inadvertently). Try shutting down KDM, this prior to modifying 
the file.
    You _really_ don't want to connect to an X session remotely or your 
regular user account via telnet. Be sure that you know the security 
implications of doing this, before doing it.
