Indeed; but the issue is more annoying with GDM, as the user name looks highlighted already so I'd expect that pressing Enter would show the password box, but that doesn't happen, you have to click the user name.
With KDM, the user name isn't highlighted at all when the kdm-greeter is stared, so you have to click anyway; but it's slightly better than GDM in that particular bit, as the "Username" box has focus and you can type the user name -> Enter -> focus moves to the password box -> type password -> Enter.
(Bottom line is, each tool has its own can of worms, one has to select the one that tastes less bad... :)).
