Please, look at this:
bash-4.1# cat /proc/cmdline
root=/dev/ram0 ramdisk_size=6666 rw initrd=/boot/initrd.xz nomagic autoexec=xconf;telinit~4 BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz
bash-4.1# egrep -o "(^|[[:space:]])nomagic([[:space:]]|\$)" /proc/cmdline
nomagic
bash-4.1# egrep -o ' nomagic ' /proc/cmdline
nomagic
bash-4.1# egrep -o "(^|[[:space:]])autoexec=([[:space:]]|\$)" /proc/cmdline
bash-4.1# egrep -o ' autoexec= ' /proc/cmdline
bash-4.1#
Honestly, I think the effect is the same.....
I will test your new rc.4. At present it resides in 001-core, Ok?, I will come back to you after the test.
Good night from this side of the world, (THE PORTEUS COMMUNITY NEVER SLEEPS!)
PS: I like the trick with the virtual box of yours that I saw in youtube. Why don't you write a short HOWTO for it?

I am sorry, that I didn't report back to you earlier. I switched to ext3 file system and no more crashes at all. Seems that the new kernel doesn't like the xfs.
On the other hand relating KDM, I don't know what should be the best place to put genkdmconf in. I made a dirty hack in rc.local of 004-kde to start the configuration of KDM. Running the configuration installs pictures from the users in the list (or default ones), very nice, indeed. KDM doesn't react to Print Screen requests, otherwise I had sent you a nice picture with the user's list with pictures (you know it from Slackware, I guess!)
# kdm configuation must be generated every time the computer starts
# and the user selects kde...
#
if egrep -o 'telinit~4' /proc/cmdline >/dev/null ; then
if ! egrep -o 'lxde' /proc/cmdline >/dev/null ; then
echo "generating KDM configuration...."
/usr/bin/genkdmconf
fi
I made that so, after I noticed that LXDE starts with no display manager at all; only if you change user, it fires a nice lxdm manager that even works ok by shutdown. I can imagine there must be a configuration program to run before every start of lxde, to get the display manager to greet the user. In that case one could put a similar hack without the negation of the second egrep to shoot the configuration program (maybe ponce knows). This second hack for lxde would have the same problem as the rc.4 with the cheat codes, I guess. (fanthom has it almost solved!).
Have a good night, brokenman. When you are in Brazil we will coincide in the forum, I hope.
