Grep of one days messages from  /var/log/messages

I've just been through my "/var/log/messages" file looking for some errors displayed (too fast to read) when booting up between grub and "kdm" login.

I saw these comments in the "messages" so i checked the "/usr/share/kde4/config/kdm/kdmrc" file and there are no "multiple occurrences" of either sections or keys.

I reported it on bugs.kde (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=317822) and its been suggested its reported to Opensuse as kdm_config has not been changed upstream for 10 years.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Reboot PC
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
False error messages in /var/log/messages

Expected Results:
