11 They aren't by any chance explicitly hidden? In the KDE Control Center,
12 System Administration, Login Manager, Administrator Mode, Users tab,
13 there is a big list with checkboxes for all the users.
14
15 What is kinda counter-intuitive is that this is not the list of users
16 *shown* in KDM, but the users who will be hidden if their checkbox is
17 checked.
18
19 So if you perhaps checked these users in an attempt to unhide them, you
20 have in fact hidden them from the KDM screen, afaik, not being a KDM
21 user under any circumstances, but I do have a minimal KDE installed, and
22 I've looked at the Control Center a number of times (I did try KDM once
23 or twice).
24
25 I'd also suggest checking whether icons and the like are properly set
26 (on the same tab).

28 Anyway, hth,
