Well, because this is part of the content of one message I received
about setting it up, and it is the method I decided on:
------------------
First setup kdm using Desktop Manager, if you want
to run KDE and also Enlightenment as different sessions,
add them.
next, edit /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession
case $# in
1)
case $1 in
failsafe)
exec xterm -geometry 80x24-0-0
;;
KDE)
exec /opt/kde/bin/startkde
;;
enligtenment)
exec /usr/local/bin/enlightenment
;;
esac
esac
then make sure you don't have .xsession, .xinitrc, .Xclients
in your $HOME directory.
------------------------------------
Thus, I mv'd the .xinitrc file in my /home directory to xinitrc.
I have since mv'd it back to .xinitrc and have kde running (again)
but not kdm.
