OK, I'll poke around and see what I can find under /etc/X11 - we were given the rest of the day off due to a snow storm so I'll have time to play with this ;) I know that with Debian all I had to do was apt-get install gdm (IIRC) and it removed kdm and installed gdm whereas Slackware required me to edit one of the startup scripts.
