Right, I don't, and I don't always use kde either. therefore I avoid kdm and 
gdm.  Wdm is a good solution for the user who wants to throw less in the way 
of resources into login/window management.

You can have a nice system with wdm plus xfce, blackbox, etc., etc. without 
waiting 3-40 seconds just to start a window manager.  It's academic to me at 
the moment, because I'm running KDE, but kdm has some sort of a bug (a qt 
flaw) that makes it take forever to start, so I've scrapped it in favor of 
wdm.
