KDE Display Manager (KDM) is a display manager developed by KDE. A display manager is a graphical user interface for logging into Unix or a Unix-like operating system with the X Window System. For Kubuntu 12.10, KDM was replaced with LightDM.[1]
KDE Display Manager is the standard display manager of the KDE Software Compilation. KDE developed KDE Display Manager from the source code of X display manager.[2]
KDM allows the user to choose a desktop environment and/or window manager at login. KDM uses the Qt application framework. It is configurable via KDE's System Settings; its appearance can be customized by the user.
The default KDM login screen has a list of users. Each entry comprises the user's username, personal name (if available), and an icon. Next to the list is a greeting and a picture. One of the customization options is to replace the picture with an analog clock. From this screen the user can also run a user management tool, shut down or reboot the computer, or restart the X Window System.
