There is no new DM. It is Mandrake who modifie kdm :( 
Why ? We don't know for now

Moreover to change the DM used it is in /etc/sysconfig/desktop. 
Just change the line : "DISPLAYMANAGER=kdm" by "DISPLAYMANAGER=gdm" for 
example.
To know how it's work, I recomment you to look at the script /etc/X11/prefdm 
It is (was*) launched by /etc/inittab with this line : 
x:5:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon

* Now dm is a service so the launched of prefdm is in /etc/init.d/dm


To Mandrake Team : PLEASE. SEPARATE DRAKDM IN A SEPARATE PACKAGE AND BRING US 
BACK THE ORIGINAL KDM.

Thanks
