Hi,
I have installed kdm-trinity only. If I do
sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm-trinity
I get kdm and kdm-trinity offered with kdm marked red. When I choose
kdm-trinity, I can see that /etc/X11/default-display-manager has been
overwritten but
cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager
gives
/opt/trinity/bin/kdm
What is wrong?

The red usually isn't a big deal - maybe indicates current option.

if nothing is wrong why do I get not the Trinity login box?
If the others want to know what I mean, may I sent 3 little pictures to this

I attach 3 pictures. Kub1 and Kub2 come from Kubuntu+Trinity which have kdm

LMDE comes from LMDE + Trinity.
Robert wrote me Kub2 is the right one but how do I get it for LMDE?

looks like lmde.jpg is the only one which shows kdm from trinity.
kub1 is the kubuntu 4.x version, kub2 the kde3 version from kubuntu, not

Dude, you can't just have kdm-trinity installed.
If LMDE.jpg is your login window, this means you also have gdm

gdm isn't installed? I'm surprised. I just freshly installed debian
and that's the default gdm login. Please check if 'sudo
dpkg-reconfigure gdm' works for you - if it does, you are using gdm
:-/ if not, i'm completely surprised.

So that debian theme is from trinity. Wouldn't it be better to collect all
