Actually, that is quite untrue. Kdm provides a menu from which you can
select the session that you wish to run (KDE, Window Maker, FVWM, etc).
Kdm also provides the ability to shutdown or reboot your system from the
login screen.  It can also provide icons for the available usernames on
the system (like the SGI login).

I actually prefer wdm, the WINGS Desktop Manager to either.  It has about
the same functionality as KDM, but it is built with WINGS, the Window
Maker interface, so it looks quite nice.  It's included with slink.
