reboot (I don't think a mere restart is enough).

You will then be using kdm instead of gdm for logins
and you can customize kdm to your heart's content
by editing the nice simple to understand text file:

/etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc

Not only does it have comments, but I see there
is also a /usr/share/doc/HTML/en/kdm/kdmrc-ref.docbook
file installed (which I never looked at because the
comments were good enough :-).
