Does the login widget have the KDE logo?

RedHat has an unbelievably Byzantine system.  If you always want to 
use KDM, you can short circuit this by editing the last line in: 
/etc/inittab to:

x:5:once:/<full-path>/kdm -nodaemon

The <full-path> will depend on your distro but should be: $KDEDIR/bin 
which on RedHat is usually: "/usr/bin" which would make it:

x:5:once:/usr/bin/kdm -nodaemon

Note that replacing: 'respawn' with 'once' may help with your other 
problems.

Note that: "-nodaemon" is now deprecated but it wouldn't hurt to use 
it or you can leave it out since it is now covered in the KDM resource 
file.
