Hi again,

I am very happy that mdkkdm has his own package now. And that's also a good 
idea to split KDE packages in smaller ones prefixed by the official KDE name.

So now after all the noise I made on this mailing-list I would like to help 
people who want to test mdkkdm or to go back to kdm.

If you want kdm : urpmi kdebase-kdm
If you want to test mdkkdm : urpmi mdkkdm

After that, if you want to have kdm as DM, just put the line following in 
/etc/sysconfig/desktop :
DISPLAYMANAGER=kdm

If you want gdm :
DISPLAYMANAGER=gdm

If you want xdm :
DISPLAYMANAGER=xdm

And if you want mdkkdm :
DISPLAYMANAGER=kde

To understand how it's work just look at /etc/X11/prefdm.
Take care that you didn't modify it before so thatmdkkdm related lines had 
been added. If not, just look at /etc/X11/prefdm.rpmnew and manually merge :)

That's all.
Thank's a lot and sorry again but I am prood to announce that I have upgraded 
my MandrakeClub level to support you as I said in my #!%@!! mail ;)

Shift

PS :
To Mandrake team : Why did you choose "KDE" and "kde" for mdkkdm 
DISPLAYMANAGER option ? Why not adding "MDKKDM" and "mdkkdm" so that it is 
less confused ?
