Yeah, I knew that. I had one /etc/kde3 which was for the old one, set true.
There was one in the $KDEDIR/share/config/kdm -- was set false. changed that.
Now the root login that I had hidden for obvious reasons showed as a 
"sashroot" and once I logged that in, I could not get rid of it so 
quickly--finally managed. Hid the sashroot, tried again setting to kde 
session. This finally worked normaly.

Of course, this is dangerous and I very rarely use it. Sometimes using the 
konqueror file manager is needed as root, used with care, of course.
