kdm & X Problem

[Robert Tilley <tilleyrw@cfl.rr.com>]

For reference I run Debian unstable.

kdm no longer functions for me and I am forced to startx manually upon login 
and am then limited to KDE.

As root I have tried the following with no results.  I explicitly choose kdm 
when the dialog appears.

  debian-rtg:/home/tilleyrw# dpkg-reconfigure kdm
  Not starting K Desktop Manager (kdm); it is not the default display manager.
  debian-rtg:/home/tilleyrw#

Does anyone on this list have ideas about why X is (mis)behaving?  I want to 
be able to choose my window manager as per a normal kdm.
