X is X; using a single application (or display manager) from one "world"
doesn't require you to only use that world forever more. If you don't
like xdm, use a different display manager. My machines use gdm, but
beyond that I have one custom GNOME app, and for a while I was using
Konqueror as my Web browser; I don't use the gnome-session stuff at
all. You should be able to straightforwardly configure gdm to start
KDE, or kwm to start GNOME.
