I use $USER independant /etc/X11/xsession.d/ which works fine for
"xdm" and "wdm" but is there something similar for "kdm" and "gdm" ?
The Enterprise for which I develop the Tools are using wdm + fvwm
and there is no problem at all. But I am dubious if they use KDE
or GNOME it may not more work.
Maybe I shoult avoid the use of gdm/kdm (if possibel, because I do
not use and know it).

Not privatly but in enterprises...
I run some Backports and it works fine.
With SARGE we had problems to install it in a minimum.
