KDM?

I'm new to Arch Linux and KDE.  I've been using Enlightenment and Debian for quite some time now.

Just installed Arch tonight (it is really not difficult to install at all) and it looks great.  I decided to get a bit crazy since my computer can handle it now and try something bloated for once like KDE so I installed the kdebase through pacman and no KDM.  I tried to install it seperately with 'pacman -S kdm' but no luck.  A quick search of the packages shows no kdm, but xdm and gdm are available.  Am I not looking in the right places?  Does it have a different name?

I quickly browsed the forums and couldn't find anything along those lines, but I do hope that someone can show me where to look.  I'm sure I'm just overlooking something simple.

Thanks

KDE isn't really as bloated as most people think. A little customization and KDE can be quite fast. But I stick with GNOME / OpenBox3 as a WM replacement because I like simplicity and speed
