kde2 with gdm?

[fsvara]

i just installed kde2 via rpms for my SuSE 6.4 system and now I was wondering how I would start kde2 in the future. Up to now I was using only Helix GNOME and gdm to graphically log in. I want to be given an option wether to start gnome or kde2, using gdm if possible.
What configuration files would I have to edit to add an option for kde2? Is it even possible to use gdm to start kde2 or will I have to use kdm?

It is possible to use gdm, I have used it on MDK 7.2. Unfortunately the config files vary from distro to distro and I don't even fully understand Mandrake yet.

Likely it is /etc/gdm/Sessions
Look at what is there and do a link.
I use stormix... there's a selection for Debian so I just did...

cd /etc/gdm/Sessions
ln Debina kde2

kde2 was added to my list of options in the helix-gnome login screen and now I can use kde2 like I use any other wm.

I spy with my little eye something that begins with "W"... oops, it's gone now.

I've found the Sessions directory. There are 3 files in it, Xsession, Gnome and default.
default is a symlink to Gnome. I've looked at the GNOME startup script (it's actually a script) and got to the conclusion that after some cryptic shellstuff it executes
/opt/gnome/bin/gnome-session
what would I have to execute to start kde2? I guess a WINDOWMANAGER="kde2" startx wouldn't work cause x is already started. Is there something like gnome-session for kde2?

I've found it myself, thanks anyway:
/op/kde2/bin/startkde
