I have a dual monitor, well, one monitor and one projector that I have

Presently when I start the computer, kdm's login prompt is on the
projector  instead of the monitor.  There are no settings in the
system settings configuration to select the monitor.

The monitor order is selected for ease of use while doing the
presentations.  When dragging applications to the presentation, you
drag towards the projector screen.

Even with the projector powered off, the kdm screen is on the projector.

Have you tried 'GreeterScreen' in /etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc? When I was using a
dual screen arrangement with the 'first' screen being a HDTV in a
separate room, I used 'GreeterScreen=-1' to force the KDM login prompt
to the PC monitor. I suggest playing around with GreeterScreen values
such as -1, 0, and 1 until you find the right one.

The kdmrc doesn't have a GreeterScreen in it.   I found the position option and tried to change different options with no success.

That is odd.....

[egreshko@localhost kdm]$ uname -r
3.12.8-200.fc19.x86_64
[egreshko@localhost kdm]$ pwd
/etc/kde/kdm
[egreshko@localhost kdm]$ grep GreeterScr kdmrc
#GreeterScreen=-1

Ed, doesn't that look like the parameter is commented out to you? It does to
me. Remove the hash symbol from in front of the GreeterScreen line.
