I couldn't seem to find a kdm-trinity for squeeze there:
https://quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/~slavek-banko/+archive/axis/+index?field.series_filter=squeeze&start=15&batch=5

I didn't want to do a wholesale replacement of squeeze/stable so I
updated sources.list as specified and then did "apt-get update" and
"apt-get install kdm-trinity" which seemed to replace kdm-trinity
and six other squeeze/stable packages with the ...+ax9 versions:
  kcontrol-trinity kdebase-kio-plugins-trinity kdebase-trinity-bin
  kdesktop-trinity kdm-trinity kfind-trinity konqueror-trinity

This seems to have fixed the kdm_greet 100% CPU problem on the
laptop I tried it on (although 6-7% CPU is still high for an
idle login screen!).   If I get time I'll try to see if I can
return any of those seven packages to squeeze/stable versions
so we can stay as close to squeeze/stable as possible.

THANK YOU
