Can I uninstall KDE Login Manager, but keep the KDE Window Manager?

I like the Window Manager n-workspaces with different wallpaper feature, but I hate the slow GUI Login Manager.

Help.

Yes, you can replace KDM. I am not sure about uninstalling, but it can be disabled and replaced with a Login Manager of your choice. Read up the wiki.

Not an installation issue; moving to Applications & Desktop Environments

According to some people, distros have a file called /etc/inittab and if you change this id:5:initdefault:, you "fix" it.
I use arch.

inittab is long gone, we're on systemd now. Seriously, search the wiki for login manager or display manager.

You can't uninstall it, but you can easily disable it.
