You may want to take a look at the /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc script. It looks like you could create a .Xclients file in your home directory, and have it launch xterm, or whatever program you want. >>> Question 2: >>> I tried to change the default login manager from GDM to KDM (just to >>> test other login managers) but i can't find where to change those >>> settings.. so where can i change that? >>> >> I don't remember the GUI that does it, but you can set it in >> /etc/sysconfig/desktop.

This is what controls the display manager selection. It looks like the script will accept any display manager you set. The script also handles the case where you do not have a display manager set.
