I'm by no means an FC3 expert (if it were Slackware I
could help), but maybe you should check whether kdm is
running as opposed to gdm. I followed Jarod's guide
and had no problem with auto login BUT I'm not using
KDE, I went the lightweight route and am using
windowmaker. I really don't need the functionality,
and weight, of KDE, I just ssh into myth from my
desktop.
