I guess I could hack this in.
kdm is kinda RH-centric. RH uses ~/.wm_style to pick up the window manager
used. kdm writes `fvwm' to this file when you select `fvwm' on the panel.
`last login' actually means "don't write anything to ~/.wm_style -- use
whatever is already there" -- so much for remembering the last thing used!
I think I could use another script arround /etc/X11/Xsession that reads
~/.wdm_style and passes whatever is there to /etc/X11/Xsession as the first
argument (this is how wdm tells Xsession which wm to use)
But that's not high on my TODO list, if someone is really interested, please
file a wishlist bug against wdm.
