Well, technically it's indirect because system-config-* depends on PyGTK and
PyGTK depends on GTK+. ;-)
But that doesn't change the fact that those tools are hardcoded to use GTK+

If you want to run kdm instead od gdm do the following at a console login
(ctl-alt-f1) after logging in as root
mv /usr/sbin/gdm /usr/sbin/gdm.orig

gdm has become, frankly, really awful.
Can we just make kdm the default - it is so much simpler to configure
and it behaves the way any rational administrator expects.
kdm is part of Fedora anyway ... leave gnome as the default desktop,
just replace the login manager part with something
to kdm since I was a
long time kde user until recently.

I switched to kdm for F10 even though I use gnome - I did not like the
way gdm looked or the lack of
a source file somewhere but I have not delved
into that.
