KDE non-installation, then kdm brings up metacity & nautilus

["A. F. Cano" <afc@shibaya.lonestar.org>]

Greetings all,

I have installed sarge on a couple of different machines lately.  In
both cases the install process didn't install KDE (which is what I
wanted; no choice as in woody.  Has anyone else encountered this? or
is it something weird I've done?

Later on, using dselect, I installed a lot of missing packages,
including kde and lots of dependencies.  The installation process
allowed me to select which desktop manager I would like to use and
I selected kdm.  Upon reboot, kdm actually comes up, but when
logging in, the gnome desktop (metacity and nautilus, plus gnome
terminal) appears.  This is not, I dare say, what I was expecting.

I have tried dpkg-reconfugure kdm AND dpkg-reconfigure gdm but still
the gnome pops up...

So... Is this a known problem? (I didn't see anything related to
this while searching the bug reports)  Does anyone have a solution
to bring back KDE under sarge? (updated to the very latest a few minutes
ago).

Thanks for any help/hints.

A.
