it would be great if kdm/kde would support smart card login! i think it's only a frond-end gui issue as back-ends are already here (opensc-project). people are using the smart card pam module to login, but kdm still asks for username and password and it's sometimes not needed (you have to press <enter> in the blank dialog). it would be great to add a picture asking to insert the smart card and to bypass the username/password dialogs when possible. (login name is not needed, it can be set depending on the certificate on the smart card, and password/pin is not needed if you have a pinpad reader that ask you to input the PIN on it's own keyboard). as said the pam module is already here, you don't have to pass him username/PIN but kdm still shows the dialogs on login and you have to press ente
 r twice to login.

it could be merged someway with the fingerprint login bug as they are similar (tweak kdm login gui) to make it look nice with this new tecnologies..
