kdemod 4.2 login problem

Hello

Everytime i'm loging in to the system [kdemod + kdm] i have to do it twice. After first try it doesn't do anything, just displays login dialog again after a while. The second try is allways successfull. No error displayed and i don't know where in logs do search so i just did basic parse the kdm.log and daemon.log

[dunmer@joybox log]$ grep "^(EE)" kdm.log

Somebody on irc told me to reinstall ConsoleKit. After reinstalling i was able to log in normally, but next boot i had to do it twice as usual..
Can anybody help?

Thanks in advice.

Re: kdemod 4.2 login problem

I found this http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/12702 and the last cooment in that thread is:

I have the same bug, kde not started without dbus (kdebase-workspace 4.1.3-1 works ok)
if dbus started(rc.conf) i have first login failed (return to kdm), second ok

downgrade to 4.1.3-1
-

I can not downgrade because i cleared my pacman cache since installing kdemod..
Or can i downgrade it some other way?

edit:
I found that package and downgrade, going to test it.
