You are an unbeliever :-) So look (I've cut the 4. row): nik@dasding:~$ dpkg -l|grep gdm nik@dasding:~$ Nothing. nik@dasding:~$ dpkg -l|grep kdm ii kdm-trinity 4:3.5.12-0debian7+r1181781 ii kdmtheme-trinity 4:3.5.12-0debian7+r1088046 No gdm. nik@dasding:~$ dpkg -l|grep theme ii gtk-chtheme 0.3.1-4 ii gtk-qt-engine-trinity 4:3.5.12-0debian7+r1172006+rebuild2 ii gtk-theme-switch 2.1.0-2 ii gtk2-engines 1:2.20.1-1 ii hicolor-icon-theme 0.12-1 ii kdeartwork-theme-icon-trinity 4:3.5.12-0debian7+r1177246 ii kdeartwork-theme-window-trinity 4:3.5.12-0debian7+r1177246 ii kdeartwork-trinity 4:3.5.12-0debian7+r1177246 ii kdmtheme-trinity 4:3.5.12-0debian7+r1088046 ii lxappearance 0.4.0-1 nik@dasding:~$ dpkg -l|grep dm ii bsdmainutils 8.0.13 ii dmidecode 2.9-1.2 ii dmsetup 2:1.02.48-5 ii iptables 1.4.8-3 ii kdm-trinity 4:3.5.12-0debian7+r1181781 ii kdmtheme-trinity 4:3.5.12-0debian7+r1088046 ii libkadm5clnt-mit7 1.8.3+dfsg-4 ii libkadm5srv-mit7 1.8.3+dfsg-4 ii libmail-sendmail-perl 0.79.16-1 ii libnfsidmap2 0.23-2 ii libxdmcp-dev 1:1.0.3-2 ii libxdmcp6 1:1.0.3-2 ii passwd 1:4.1.4.2+svn3283-2+squeeze1 ii policykit-1 0.96-4 nik@dasding:~$ nik@dasding:~$ ps ax|grep dm 1330 ?
