if you want kdm type sudo kdm
gdm is sudo gdm
xdm is sudo xdm
and itll start it up for you!

By selecting the default WM you also select the default DM. If you are not using a runlevel 4 boot then just choose what you want at the login prompt.

$ xwmconfig

[kern]

/etc/rc.d/rc.4 controls which X based login manager is loaded, and what order.

not xwmconfig
