RE: x-window-manager link
KDE isn't a window manager, it's a desktop environment.
try 'apt-get install kdm', and start it from kdm.
(disclaimer-- I use gnome, not kde, but I know that you need a window
manager underlying kde/gnome)

Ohh... bummer.
Here is what I get when I tried the command you suggested:
There is only 1 program which provides x-window-manager
(/usr/bin/X11/twm). Nothing to configure.
Now what????
