[Kde-nonlinux] KDE, XDM, KDM ???

I joined this mailing list and so far in the past several days I have
not seen anyone post to it. Here is a concern I have, with the hopes
that there are some people subscribed to the list.

First and foremost I'm totally new to OpenBSD. I just recently defected
from Red Hat. I had been with Red Hat since the 5.0 version. I like
OpenBSD because of the security centric approach and because you can
really customize the installation.

I have been all over the web looking for documentation on how to
configure KDE in order for it to be the default GUI. I have seen post
and replies that, in affect, says that KDM does not work properly with
OpenBSD.

Then there are some notions from some people that it does work. All you
have to do is configure some of the files in order to have KDE as your
default GUI.

I have read the documentation over at this site
http://www.nomoa.com/bsd/x-windows4.htm which pretty much says that it
will work. Has anyone out there configured KDE on OpenBSD 3.4 as the
default GUI and if so is there any documentation they would be willing
to share?

I have been able to configure the X server with fvwm as the default GUI
with XDM and KDE as a GUI sitting on top of fvwm, which is not at all
what I would like. Any insight or pointers to documentation, or heck,
confirmation that the above site documentation will actually work with
OpenBSD 3.4 will be gratefully appreciated.



Sincerely,
