I have SuSE Linux Personal 9.1 and am running KDE. I wanted to try
some other window manager recently, but the damned configuration somehow
only loads KDE. What do I have to edit in these files to be able to
switch window manager sessions at login using KDM?

What do I have to edit to make things work? Is there some other file I
should post?
Thx in advance,
