i would like to solve this "errors" or rather strip off this dhcpcd thingy (in a config file) which is obviously started at boot. the network is completely managed by wicd.
i have no clue what "cannot open default user face" means. already googled without any good results :<
best regards,

Don't worry about 'default user face', it's nothing... you can set it in:
SystemSettings -> Advanced -> Login Manager -> Users
under 'User Images' [ bottom-right ].
I expect when installing you elected to install dhcp [ Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol ] when configuring the network ?
Dhcpcd is its' daemon. You could uninstall dhcp... pacman -R dhcp
I presume you have onboard ethernet and a pci network card ?
Could you disable your onboard ethernet in the systems BIOS ? Then you can concentrate on configuring your card. I've
never used 'wicd' so I can't help you there.
Not much help, I know but better than nothing

I get the same problems including a new one:
kdm_greet[5439]: Cannot set locale. Translations will not work.
That was fixed by setting the appropriate locale in /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc
Thanks for that fix for
kdm_greet[5977]: Cannot open default user face
I've read all sorts of outlandish stuff thanks to google but this definitely makes the most sense!
I'm also on wicd and get the dhcpcd error:
May 14 20:49:12 archtop dhcpcd: dhcpcd not running
I suppose one could use the -d flag, but it is too late now and I am too tired and will prolly have forgotten all by tomorrow anyway...

Argh, the default user face solution worked, but on switching on the computer I noticed that the locale in kdm is wrong again!
That means that kdmrc is written to either on shutdown or on boot. Anybody know what might be causing this?

I've already set kdmrc as follows:
[X-*-Greeter]
# ...snip...
Language=en_GB
and I'm still getting the locale error. Any ideas?

Seems likely that yours was overwritten again, too.

OK, I've fixed it. It turns out en_GB wasn't a valid locale. Executing $ locale -a gives C, POSIX, en_GB.utf8 so I needed to set the language in kdmrc to en_GB.utf8.
