Following the instructions on how to install KDE2 beta 5 (the final beta) on
Mandrake 7.x, I installed the RPMs menu and mandrake_desk from Mandrake 7.2
beta 3 before doing anything else. I did not install KDE2 over my KDE 1.x at
this stage. After a reboot I found that kdm (my default login manager at boot)
only displayed kde and default as choices, and whatever I chose I got IceWM. I
managed to get GNOME running manually by killing kdm with init 3 from a root
console and then running startx. I tried gdm (from Helix GNOME)  instead of kdm
but this doesn't let me log into anything. By this stage I had not installed
KDE2 but my system was already a mess.

So my question is: how do I get things working as they were before, with a
fully working login manager?
