There's three common login managers that I'm aware of:

GDM - Gnome
KDM - KDE
XDM - Generic X

If you're removed gdm, you're not going to be able to use it.  I've used
GDM to login to a box that used KDE.  I don't know if you can use KDM to
login to a box that's not using KDE.

Either put it back, or reconfigure to use something else.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
