But when I set the DM to kdm in /etc/X11/default-display-manager I get a totally different *window* manager, i. e. I get XFCE4 instead of KDE. That's even stranger as I thought that kdm would start kde. But it obviously doesn't. In this case at least only kdm is started and not wdm.So how could I set which window manager is started by the DM?
That's easier (I think): controlled by update-alternatives. # update-alternatives --list x-window-manager shows you what it can be, and # update-alternatives --set x-window-manager <path> where <path> is one of the options from the first command.
