I use gdm with KDE. I had to change the config of KDE to
fix the resolution. So it seems unlikely to have anything to
do with kdm.
Also you might check the init scripts
to see what program actuall y configures the display for kde on your
system.
How do I do that?
If you are using kde and kdm try installing just gnome and see
if it works, if so then install kde , but don't change the display
manager. These may not alter the characteristics of the display, so
this is just a guess.

I've always had gnome, xfce4, and kde installed. Logging in under
gnome or under xfce4 I get the correct screen resolution. It's
remotely possible the fix that I did to KDE also fixed gnome. It
was awhile back when I did it, plus it involved quite a bit of
thrashing about. But most likely the only culprit is KDE.

If so, changing distributions won't help.
So before changing your install, try switching to xfce4. You can
get it by "apt-get install xubuntu-desktop".
