Sorry, that's what I meant kdm.....anyway I edited /etc/X11/prefdm and
made the following change:
preferred=
if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/desktop ]; then
. /etc/sysconfig/desktop >/dev/null 2>&1
[ -n "$DISPLAYMANAGER" ] && DESKTOP=$DISPLAYMANAGER
if [ "$DESKTOP" = GNOME -o "$DESKTOP" = Gnome ]; then
preferred=gdm
elif [ "$DESKTOP" = "KDE" -o "$DESKTOP" = "KDE1" -o "$DESKTOP" =
"KDE2" ]; then
preferred=/usr/bin/gdm
elif [ "$DESKTOP" = AnotherLevel ] ; then
preferred=/usr/X11R6/bin/gdm
fi
fi
Notice in the last two preferred statements I changed kdm to gdm. this
was documented in an email from someone else whose name escapes me about
four days ago, so he should get the credit for this fix. He did note that
although this is not the preferred method for affecting this fix it does
work.
