kde missing from gdm session options and also not starting from kdm



hi,

one of the recent updates removed kde from the startup session options
of gdm and it also does not start from kdm.

when starting with startkde, you have to first do xinit.

what could be the cause for that, or how do i fix this without
reinstalling the whole kde stuff? or is it a recent x upgrade which
could cause this?

current config with reportbug, out of a bug which seemed similarly,
but i'm not sure:

Date: Mon, 03 May 2004 21:22:37 -0500
Package: ksmserver
Version: 4:3.2.2-1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/startkde

This [incredibly] annoying behavior, I think, is due to how the
preinst script handles upgrades.  It really should check to make sure
the version being upgraded from is old enough that there's a need to
call update-alternatives --auto (thereby dumping the administrator's
preferred x-session-manager in favor of startkde).
