Thats what has happened, I have moved the files in question over to
/usr/bin/X11/ and that seems to have fixed it, kdm starts as default now and
goes to the login GUI.

Well the strange thing is that I had installed them before after upgrading
from XFree86V3* and everything worked 1st time ;-o
So I now have the problem that I think I saw mentioned somewhere recently.
That is when I select a user in the login GUI and select the session, it
takes a server restart before the keyboard is recognised. Then when I have
entered my password I just end up back at the GUI again after an attempt at
opening desktop.
Oh well more investigations ;-)
Thanks for you help so far.
wonder if its a problem with a lib? I seem to remember sommat not being
installed correctly, I feel a new post coming on ;-O
