Well, what I don't like is the clock with no seconds.  I have a changing
background and I sort of like it to change on the 00's.  I know exactly
how long it takes for me to type in my password, hit return and it start
the desktop.  It's 11 seconds here.  So, if I hit return right on 49
seconds, the background changes on the 00's every time. 

The new KDE login doesn't have a second hand so I have no idea when to
hit the return key to login.  I hate to say this, I may stick with KDE 3
until that is changed.  There has to be a setting somewhere but this
little idiot can't find it.

I have never seen gdm so I'll take your word for it.  I hate that little
startx thing.  That is ugly.  O-o
