Bug Description
Binary package hint: kdm
I've upgraded from Kubuntu Hardy to Kubuntu Intrepid. I had kdm-kde4 as default display manger, also kdm from kde3 and gdm.
When I updated to Intrepid, I was asked which display manager to be the default, and I was given two options: gdm or kdm. I chose kdm.
However, when I restarted the computer, kdm didn't launch, claiming that it's wasn't the default display manager. Right, kdm path was not updated in /etc/X11/
Then I hand edited the /etc/X11/

IIRC the script responsible for changing the path is only checking the actual executable name rather than the complete path.
