Re: GDM vs KDM - which is better?

Thanks for all the replies, but my basic question wasn't answered. The
question isn't about which of the 2 desktops is better, but what the
difference is between using either desktop manager. At present I am
using GDM when running either Gnome (90% of the time) or KDE. Is using
GDM warping my KDE experience, is there some way I can tell the system
to use GDM when I log into Gnome and use KDM (or whatever the desktop
manager is called that comes with KDE) when I log into KDE. I already
have it set to restart my desktop manager whenever I log out, you
would think it would be do-able.

Conversely, if I set it to always use KDM would my Gnome sessions be
adversely affected?

That happened to me when I used Kubuntu. I had someone thinking I was
using win XP. I quickly corrected them :)

Personally, when I choose between Gnome and KDE I simply wrote down
every KDE program I liked and every Gnome program I liked and selected
the one with more software I liked to use.

Fair enough, we didn't address your post, I did switch to KDM because
there was a bug that meant when using KDE/GDM the log out/off options
were reduced, switching to KDE/KDM solved that, I have noticed no other
difference.

When I go back to Gnome I am still using KDM, and I have not noticed any
difference.
