Ah, true. That's actually uncommon for the display manager not
to be under /usr/sbin/ as gdm3 and lightdm are. That's why I
incorrectly assumed it would be true for kdm as well.

Did you actually reload the service file using "systemctl daemon
reload"?

There is your problem. systemd tries to execute /usr/sbin/kdm and
not /usr/bin/kdm. Make sure you have fixed the unit file and run
"systemctl daemon-reload".
In any case, I am sure this isn't actually a bug in kdm but a
configuration error on your computer. kdm works as expected
after a fresh install.
