So the OP must foresee what you are going to say later in the thread and
phrase his original question accordingly?!!
And those of us who answer must answer, not the OP's original question, but
your later misconceptions?

No, I didn't confuse anything. I know perfectly well that *dm is a display
manager not a DE. I thought that gdm3 was later than gdm and that Gnome 2
would use the eralier one, and Gnome 3 the later. You have still not
explicitly said that Gnome 2 uses gdm3, so you have still not actually said
that I was wrong in believing that it usually does not.
And yes, I know, before you start lecturing me again on my ignorance that the
dm is not tied to the DE. But I am still under the impression, possibly
erroneously, since I use neither, that Gnome 2 does not normally use gdm3.

Yes, but that was not what the OP asked. I was answering the OP.
