Thanks to all and i will take your advice Norberto as i do not really like kde 
that much anyway.  If i wanted window i would just install windowsxp or maybe 
vista would be more like Kde any how i digress.  

I am tiring to set up wdm and added this line to my /etc/ttys  

ttyv8   "/usr/X11R6/bin/wdm -nodaemon"  xterm   on  secure

followed the instructions below found on the fulxbox site but it does not quite 
work

http://fluxbox-wiki.org/index.php/Howto_add_fluxbox_to_wdm

I get the wdm ok beasty is there, very cool backgound i might add, seen it used 
in a theme somewhere. No matter what i pick for a windows manager i get the 
stock Freebsd one wmaker i think? u know the one with the terminal and green 
menu bars very vanilla.  An exception to this kde still works and failsafe 
gives me control of the terminal window bottom right.

Also i removed a bunch of managers out of the wdm-config file as i was not 
using them like this.  

DisplayManager*wdmWm:           wmaker:enlightenment:gnome:kde:fluxbox

I still get failsafe and wmaker where do us suppose these come from.  Kde still 
works but not enlightenment gnome or flux box 

please help

notice this file is for XDM, not KDM. try searching in
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/kdm :)

not sure, probably from its config file. Or just set it to custom, and
use ~/.xsession to launch your stuff at will.

Just curious, why use kdm with all it's KDE dependencies, when you can
use xdm, or wdm (what I use).
