Tim, The starting of KDM depends on the Linux distro you are using.
On Redhat, it is started by the /etc/X11/prefdm script, which is spawned from the /etc/inittab file Take a look at the prefdm script, and you'll see that it uses the contents of the /etc/sysconfig/desktop file to decide which display manager to run.
