My bad... I was inadvertently using the wrong terminology.
I was using the term 'Windows Manager" when I really meant "Display
Manager" like KDM, GDM, XDM, etc. You can use any one of these with any
Window Manager (KDE, GNOME, ICEWM, etc.), and I was first using KDM on
KDE then switched back to GDM on KDE. GNOME never entered the picture
for me!
Anyway, I have it figured out now.
