[SOLVED] Add openbox-kde to kdm

Hey guys,
I just installed Openbox since I'm a bit fed up with kwin's slow speed; I'd like to run openbox-kde but it doesn't appear as an option in kdm. I looked at the kdmrc file (I don't know if that was the right place) but there seemed to be no place to add this as an option. Where can I get this added to my kdm?

Thanks.

its simply not needed... start kde, go to systemsettings -> default applications and chose openbox as Window Manager.

Openbox/KDE works perfectly apart from one single issue with kickoff menu, that doesnt get focus without clicking it again.

You are amazing! and so is my desktop now!

I totally expected a more stripped-down openbox look but I'm very pleased that it practically looks the same as with kdm! Now all that's left is to find a good openbox/gtk theme that meshes well with kde and to rebind my keyboard shorcuts.
