Quick way: modify /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager and change DISPLAYMANAGER variable to kdm. Afterwards run SuSEconfig and restart X Worked for me. Cheers Pete

This can be done via YaST as well. Also I believe X is restarted each time you log out, so restarting is not really needed, I think. As an extra. For those who keep on using gdm as the login manager, but hate the colours: http://art.gnome.org/themes/gdm_greeter/ What I dislike about gdm ad like about kdm is that the latter remembers my login, so I just need to enter my password. houghi -- Did you know that there are 71.9 acres of nipple tissue in the U.S.?

I have opposite question. I like to use KDE, but I like the look of gdm. But in this way, I can not shutdown my computer directly from KDE, but have to logoff and shutdown. Is there some way to configure kdm to look and approximately behave as gdm? Thanks.
