        The fact is, kdm is for KDE.  If it is capable of launching Gnome,
that's a bonus feature that should be [requested|troubleshooted] by KDE
[users|developers].  No need to blame gdm.

        I have it.  And sure enough it shouldn't be by default... do you 
want Joe User to be able to shutdown your host from any terminal?  I have
up to 20 users per host, all of them just learning what a computer is.

        What's wrong with C-A-Fn?  Do you have computers without text
virtual consoles available?

        See 1, 'system' item above.

        By the way, this is not quite true: apt-get install gdmsetup.
