Trapped in kdm

[Thomas H. George,,,]

I have come to suspect - perhaps wrongly - that many of the problems I 
am having with printets and printer sharing originated when I tried kde. 
In spite  of kde's bells and whistles I usually start in icewm-gnome. 
So I thought it might be better to open my window with gdm.  I tried 
the following:

   /etc/init.d/kdm stop                      It stopped
   dpkg-reconfigure gdm                It gave the choice of gdm or 
kdm.  When I chose gdm
                                                           I received a 
string of Unable to register ... and
   /etc/init.d/gdm                             fails as gdm is not the 
default.

dpkg -l |grep gnome shows gnome-session and other major packages 
installed although a lot of the games show as "rc".  The question is how 
best to back up to a simpler environment?
Should I purge kde and kdm or is it possible to switch them off and test 
a gnome-only environment?
