How do i change default display manger?

[MasterNetra]

Originally i installed Ubuntu 8.10 so i have gnome. More recently i decided to take a look at Kubuntu's desktop so i installed that, keeping gdm as default. Now I've fallen in love with kde4.1 and trying to make kde default. How do I do this?

Hi and at the login screen when you select sessions, select KDE and then it will ask to set as default.

My bad not the actual desktop but enviroment in general. The Login screen is still gnome. I'm trying to visually convert the entire system to Kubuntu's style.

You need to edit/etc/X11/default-display-managerfrom memory, you just need to put the one you want at the top of the list.

Where is the kde thing? Its not in the /usr/sbin with gdm.

Is kdm definitely installed? Trywhereis kdmin a console. Another way to change the display manager is to install another one such as xdm. Then you get to choose again, and once you've chosen kdm, then you can uninstall xdm.
