I am using wdm to login to X, but it shows only a few of the possible window

Line from /etc/X11/wdm/wdm-config:
DisplayManager*wdmWm:
afterstep:amiwm:asclassic:blackbox:default:enlightenment:fluxbox:flwm:fvwm2:fvwm95:gnome-session:gwm:icewm:icewm-lite:ion:kde2:larswm:lwm:metacity:olvwm-x-window-manager:olwm-x-window-manager:pwm:qvwm:ratpoison:sapphire:sawfish:twm:uwm:wm2:wm2:wmaker:xfwm
When the dropdown menu slides, it makes a mess at the line corresponding to
`icewm`. I suppose that in the configuration somewhat there is a limit to the
number of window managers that can be displayed. I have no idea about how to
fix it. Anyone knows how?
So far, kdm seems to be the best in terms of options to login (window
managers). The problem I had with it was that it consistently failed to present
a few of the window managers. This question is anotherone I would like to know
how to fix.
Thanks.
This may help ....
Go into KDE, control center
Add a session type "eg fluxbox"
vi /etc/kde2/kdm/kdm.options
delete generate-sessiontypes
I had window managers disppearing because KDM tries to work out what
window managers you have and gets it wrong. Doing the above lets you
specify manualy.
Good Luck
