Hi,
I suppose, it is based on the personal preferences. Many people will use gdm3,
as Gnome is the default login manager.
However, I believe, that those, who were using kdm (like me) just would not
notice, that kdm disappeared, as it will not be deinstalled during full-
upgrade.
Ok, what else

Is there any way I can have this do what I want while not using a
display manager? Or would I really have to get one? I also tried nodm,
but had the same problems. I would still rather not use a DM if possible.

You want to run ssh-agent in the parent login shell, so later shells
inherit the SSH_AGENT_ID and SSH_AGENT_PID environment variables. If
you use bash, then .login or .bash_login should contain something like:

What is the difference between a "desktop manager/enviroment"
'plain old X11' included 'xdm' as the display manager, and 'twm'
as the window manager.

i could be wrong, but isn't the display manager simply the 'login

In fact, so i think. Now just the last you install (kde, gnome, or
