Never mind. I had it configured right, but my attempts to kill off XDM had failed. I eventually got it right by rebooting the whole system. And reasonable menus for rebooting Just Came Up.

I thought I had it configured for KDM, things are not going well. rc-update says xdm is in default (and http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Activate_Graphical_login says this is a good thing. /etc/conf.d/xdm says DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm" and /etc/rc.conf just has a comment to look in that place, plus XSESSION="kde-3.5" When I'm logged out, however, I've got that ugly login thing that takes only a username and password. There's no way to reboot without somehow logging in as root, either on a PTY or through XDM. I do have kdm-3.5.5-r1 emerged. Logging does take me to KDE, but the menus in KDE also provide no way to reboot. Going to root via su is not wonderful either, as execution /sbin/shutdown -r does really strange things until it finally gets clobbered I'd like to clean this up: I'd like kdm, and I'd like a menu entry for rebooting.
