Removing those links would be ill advised. It would be better to do one of these: 1. Edit /etc/X11/default-display-manager and set it to your preferred. 2. Recommended: run 'dpkg-reconfigure kdm' or whatever your favorite login manage is and select it as the default. The start up scripts for xdm, kdm, gdm, etc. look at that file and see if their own name is there. If so then then they start themself up. If not then they know they are not the window manager and the start up script exits instead. Bob
