I can't figure that out! I summarize the previous state: 1.) console says: kdm and wdm are started (kdm because of the "false" value in the conf-script, wdm because it's the default-display- manager) 2.) kdm takes over and runs kde. According to pstree and ps no wdm is running.
What I did: 1.) I set the default display manager to kdm 2.) I set update-alternatives --set x-window-manager /usr/bin/kwin which should be kde. What happens: 1.) console says kdm is started 2.) But it's not kdm, I get a login window from another DM 3.) When I log in I get a gnome session, which I never selected and according to pstree no wdm is running but there are lots of "gnome-" things... And of course, if I set the default-display-manager back to wdm it's wdm *and* kdm that get started again and I get my kde session. Any other advice? Thanks again! Hans-Joerg v.
