50 as displaymanager i have just 4.0 (i should correct it to the newer
51 one but it seems that for me it automatically detects changes).
52 usually this shouldn't be necessary as the new /etc/init.d/xdm file
53 should already point to the right location (i have different voices
54 for kde3.5 kde4 and gnome that go and see the kdm in the {MY_KDE}
55 directory under /usr/kde/. so if you have a look at that the
56 DISPLAYMANAGER should point just to the right dir. if you have
57 /usr/kde/4.1 point it to 4.1. also you should remember to install the
58 kdebase-startkde-4.1.2 package or you won't be able to select that
59 session.
