Description of problem: I'm trying to switch to KDM instead of GDM in FC18, but I can't /etc/sysconfig/desktop contains PREFERRED=/usr/bin/startxfce4 DISPLAYMANAGER=KDE From killing gdm and starting kdm, I know that kdm in principle works, but after a reboot gdm is still used. I guess this has to be done via systemd these days. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kdm-4.9.2-7.fc18.x86_64 gdm-3.6.1-1.fc18.x86_64 system-switch-displaymanager-1.2-9.fc18.noarch
