  Almost certain yes - running kcontrol and setting login manager
  GUI style to KDE Classic mad no effect at all.

  And it looks 100% identical to the gnome gdm greeter
  (which is very very different than kde - i have the clock
  turned on for example and it is not there).

  Looking at the startup script /etc/X11/prefdm 
  I see that if the preferred greeter fails
  then it runs in order:
  gdm - kdm - xdm.

  I assume kdm failed and it defaults back to gdm.
