No symlink needed here. Just put the right strings into displaymanager:

Not sure. My impression was that search for DISPLAYMANAGER is done in /usr/bin. Until I defined symlink, the default DM (icewm?) was started. Maybe it is possible to define full path for DISPLAYMANAGER, I did not try that. IIRC (I am not near my setup now), kdm for KDE3 is /opt/kde3/bin/kdm (not kdm3), so even if the PATH search is used to find DM, it would not help. ("which kdm3" returned nothing on my system).
