It's for all those MSCE drones that can't figure out what to do in a Nix CLI.

But people need to take that seriously. Anymore, I rarely use the KDM installed on my servers. Since KSnuffle was abandoned, I have far less reason for having the KDE on a server. But for a long time, I felt more comfortable being able to get a complete desktop at the server console. My servers boot to init 3 these days. Call it training wheels, or whatever other disparaging epithet you care to give it, but noobs often need that kind of transition assistance. We have to provied a recovery path for MCSE's and the like.
