from 'man xdm':

which you defined.

and i should have cut out and followed with,

tells what you have for 'x-windows' manager.

assuming, you wrote,

Pedantry alert:

and replied with information of,

prefdm configures the *desktop* manager (KDE, Gnome,
whatever), of which the X window manager is just a part (usually kwm or
metacity for KDE and Gnome respectively).

which i agree too.


any way, jim boots level 3 and rex boots level 5, and why difference.
<gbwg>


If the computer is off and I boot up it always goes to the Login Windows
and I login and go into desktop.
But when I do a END SESSION, thats when it drops to Runlevel 3 ,
instead of going back to Login Window.

It just hit me. What do you mean by doing an end session? Where is such
a command located? Why are you not logging off?
If you really manage to end the session I am not surprised you are in
run level3.
