In /etc/kde2/kdm/kdmrc there is a line like: SessionTypes=default,kde2,gnome-session,wmaker This determines which session types your users will be able to select when logging in. This is probably what you are editting. By default, every time you run apt-get upgrade, debconf will figure out what window managers are on the system and add all these to this line (well actually it doesn't seem to find all of them). If you don't want debconf managing this automatically, then comment out the generate-sessiontypes line in /etc/kde2/kdm/kdm.options. Then the SessionTypes line will be left alone. It looks to me like kdmrc is the configuration file from KDE while kdm.options contains Debian-specific options. cheers, Eric
