You can create this file using an editor:
#!/bin/bash
. /etc/rc.conf
. /etc/rc.d/functions
PID=`pidof -o %PPID /opt/kde/bin/kdm`
case "$1" in
start)
stat_busy "Starting KDE Desktop Manager"
[ -z "$PID" ] && /opt/kde/bin/kdm &>/dev/null
if [ $? -gt 0 ]; then
stat_fail
else
echo $PID > /var/run/kdm.pid
add_daemon kdm
stat_done
fi
;;
stop)
stat_busy "Stopping KDE Desktop Manager"
[ ! -z "$PID" ] && kill $PID &> /dev/null
if [ $? -gt 0 ]; then
stat_fail
else
rm_daemon kdm
stat_done
fi
;;
restart)
$0 stop
sleep 3
$0 start
;;
*)
echo "usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}"
esac
exit 0
It is still there on my machine using the new KDE 3.4 version, so there is probably something wrong.

I had this problem as well. Reinstalling it a second time (pacman -S kde) put it back. Its part of the pacman bug.

reinstalling did the trick

Note that, according to the KDE wiki, you should have removed KDE completely (pacman -Rd kde) before installing the new version. KDM might not be the only problem.

I have tried it both ways on two different machines: Upgrading the old and removing, then reinstalling the new twice after that. This yielded the same exact results as removing the old then reinstalling the new twice. I wouldn't be concerned, pk with your method but to everyone else do as the wiki says and deinstall the old kde first.
