That stuff you stumbled upon was the original, pre-KDE 3.4 sessreg control. For KDE 3.4, built-in sessreg was added to KDM. UseSessReg=false disables the built-in sessreg, since the older sessreg method (which we still use) gives us more control. I forgot to disable the built-in sessreg in earlier 3.4 uploads, hence the "registered twice" problem. Cheers, Christopher Martin
