Why do you need a link? You can just edit the the file itself,<br>
/etc/init.d/kdm, for example...it will point to the binary itself..<br>
e.g. /usr/bin/kdm, you could change that to ~/...kdm.<br>
I don't know, that's just the way I do it, since it's a quick change<br>
either way, and doesn't modify much of a stock install..<br>
