GDM/ KDM randomly appear. [solved]
So I used kdm a while back, switched to gdm as i was using gnome more often. The daemon in etc/rc.conf is gdm but there is about a 1 in 4 chance that kdm will pop up instead at login.
Im missing something very basic here, and im an idiot. Any ideas?
cheers!

Perhaps you're starting kdm from /etc/inittab.

If you are not using kdm, why not uninstall it altogether.
There's no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots !

You should start GDM from inittab instead of the daemon.
One reason would be because the daemon never survived a logout for me.
The day Microsoft makes a product that doesn't suck, is the day they make a vacuum cleaner.

But if they tell you that I've lost my mind, maybe it's not gone just a little hard to find...
