First of all i want to thank you for the help you gave me.
However i must point that i did not run into any problems when i upgraded from kde 3.1.4 to kde 3.1.5
This whole thing started when i upgraded to kde 3.2
Also i must say that in both cases i used rpm packages for the upgrade and did not build from source.
I don't know if this has anythink to do with it
Also the KDEDIR variable is unset...
I can always use gdm but i would prefer kdm since its much better looking at.
Maybe looking at the source would help since i am i programmer myself ???
Anyway, Richard thanks..

Your problem is not the file kdmrc. This file is no longer used to show the selection of available WMs. kde3.2 uses .desktop files in $KDEDIR/share/apps/kdm/sessions to determine wether a WM is available or not. In these files there is a entry called TryExec. On startup kdm checks whether the command in TryExec can be executed. If yes, the WM is displayed in the entry, if not ... . If you chose one of these entries from kdm the Exec part of the .desktop file is passed to the xsession script (defined in kdmrc).
I seem to be unable to find this either in the HELP or in:
http://www.kde.org/announcements/changelogs/changelog3_1_5to3_2.php
I also notice that I do not have this directory:
$KDEDIR/share/apps/kdm/sessions/
and that the Session types listed in my (old): "kdmrc" file still show up in the KDM login widget.
So, perhaps it is more complicated than you stated.
I also notice that the KCM for Login Manager appears to be missing the: "Sessions" tab. Is this normal (for 3.2)? How do I configure my Sessions?
