Window managers are started by users. I think you are talking about "display managers". Xorg runs a script /etc/X11/startDM.sh. It will start up /etc/init.d/xdm if that's the display manager defined (as it is in a default Gentoo setup). You define which display manager you want to start in /etc/conf.d/xdm, for example: DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm" This will start the KDE4 display manager. -- Regards, Gregory.
