It can get confusing, but it is well worth the effort to figure out ways to do
this because it permits you a practical and efficient way to access and use the

Bart,
Or anyone for that matter - can you suggest a site for reading up on
what kdm/xdm does. Why one would load this. what it does, what it's for
etc. I have never had a firm understanding of any of it and I would like to
learn much more about it, but never found any place to learn about it
hmmm kdm should tag the /etc/X11/Xsession file for all chosen options...
it seems to be doing it in part at least (I don't use a .xsession file so
I have no clue)... because it is using the .xsession-errors file for logging.

no.
if you use kdm just log in using "kde2" ..dont' use default.
If your using startx you need to manually add kde2 to your alternatives
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/x-window-manager x-window-manager
/usr/bin/kde2
the package will
