There's a bug that gives you the xdm display manager instead of the normal kdm

To solve, do this: log in as user root and run the command 'rcxdm stop'. Then 
run the command yast.

Then go to System->/etc/sysconfig editor, and then to desktop->display 
manager->display manager and change the value to kdm.

Finish and quit out of yast and run 'rcxdm start' and you should see your 
regular login screen again
