I put the MESSAGE in rather than putting something in rc.d/kdm or 
somewhere else as I don't understand under what circumstances its

TLS is working for me from kmail.  I use it every day (talking to 
dovecot on a 4.99.9 box).

The X servers are the only bit of modular Xorg that I'm using at the 
moment, though I am contemplating making the switch to fully modular 
X soon.
