Hallo Werner,
if you cannot configure these things in controlcenter->login manager then you're missing something in your trinity installation or it is some other login manager from mint (xdm ?)
as I wrote yesterday when I started this thread, there is only kdm-trinity installed. Is there a way to test kdm? sudo kdm doesn't do anything.
Go to a text console: <ctrl/strg>+<alt>+<f1>
login, open root shell: $ sudo bash
look where X is running: # ps ax|grep X 1328 tty7 Ss+ 0:42 /usr/bin/X -br -nolisten tcp :0 vt7 -auth /var/run/xauth/A:0-zF79Xa
first column is process id - later referenced als <pid of X>, second is the terminal where X is running. in my case, I could go back to X by pressing alt>+<f7> as it's running on tty7.
look, which login manager is running:
# ps ax|grep dm 1320 ? Ss 0:00 /opt/trinity/bin/kdm 3739 pts/1 S+ 0:00 grep --color=auto dm
in my case, kdm from trinity.
Now kill kdm: # /etc/init.d/kdm-trinity stop
make sure X is gone: # kill -9 <pid of X>
restart kdm: # /etc/init.d/kdm-trinity start
